From 314e621671fcb2f90fe4c20f3b92417d682f3630 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guido Kollerie Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 12:56:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Emphasize target is on remote host. List supported file types. From the documentation it is not immediately clear that the 'target' option refers to a location on the remote host. This change emphasizes that. In addition to .sql files, .bz2 and .gz files are supported for dumps and restores. This is now documented. --- database/mysql_db | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/database/mysql_db b/database/mysql_db index cf987011152..622bf59a39f 100644 --- a/database/mysql_db +++ b/database/mysql_db @@ -76,7 +76,8 @@ options: default: null target: description: - - Where to dump/get the C(.sql) file + - Location, on the remote host, of the dump file to read from or write to.
