Abstract
Enabling scripting language commands to backup/restore databases is described. A system outputs, to a user interface, a backup/restore option for a database. The system generates scripting language commands based on a selection of the backup/restore option received from the user interface. The system outputs, to the user interface, the scripting language commands based on the selection of the backup/restore option. The system enables a scripting language system to execute the scripting language commands based on the selection of the backup/restore option.
Claims20
A system for enabling scripting language commands to backup/restore databases, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a processor-based backup/restore application having backup/restore commands that trigger backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application, which when executed, will cause the one or more processors to:
- output, by the backup/restore application, backup/restore options for a database to a user interface associated with the backup/restore application, the backup/restore options including selectable backup/restore parameters for at least one of recovery model for a database backup or a destination for the database backup;
- generate, by the backup/restore application, scripting language commands by:
- parsing custom native script commands of a relational database management system, the custom native script commands being of a database-specific language that are different from the backup/restore commands used by the backup/restore application, which does not support script commands of the relational database management system,
- mapping the custom native script commands to the backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application, and
- modifying the custom native script commands to include at least one of the backup/restore parameters, the at least one of the backup/restore parameters being selected from the user interface associated with the backup/restore application,
- output, by the backup/restore application, the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter generated by the backup/restore application to the user interface associated with the backup/restore application;
- execute, by the backup/restore application, the backup or restore functionality by:
- receiving, by a plug-in provided by the backup/restore application, the at least one backup/restore parameter from the relational database management system in response to the relational database management system executing the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter, the execution of the generated scripting language commands causing back up of the database by parsing the modified custom native scripts to identify the backup/restore parameters, and mapping the backup/restore parameters to the backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application;
- and
- receiving, by the backup/restore application, data via the plug-in when the relational database management system subsequently re-executes the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter.

A computer-implemented method for enabling scripting language commands to backup/restore databases, the method comprising:
- outputting, by the backup/restore application, backup/restore options for a database to a user interface associated with the backup/restore application, the backup/restore application having backup/restore commands that trigger backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application, the backup/restore options including selectable backup/restore parameters for at least one of recovery model for a database backup or a destination for the database backup;
- generating, by the backup/restore application, scripting language commands by:
- parsing custom native script commands of a relational database management system, the custom native script commands being of a database-specific language that are different from the backup/restore commands used by the backup/restore application, which does not support script commands of the relational database management system,
- mapping the custom native script commands to the backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application, and
- modifying the custom native script commands to include at least one of the backup/restore parameters, the at least one of the backup/restore parameters being selected from the user interface associated with the backup/restore application,
- outputting, by the backup/restore application, the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter generated by the backup/restore application to the user interface associated with the backup/restore application;
- executing, by the backup/restore application, the backup or restore functionality by:
- receiving, by a plug-in provided by the backup/restore application, the at least one backup/restore parameter from the relational database management system in response to the relational database management system executing the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter, the execution of the generated scripting language commands causing back up of the database by parsing the modified custom native scripts to identify the backup/restore parameters, and mapping the backup/restore parameters to the backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application;
- and
- receiving, by the backup/restore application, data via the plug-in when the relational database management system subsequently re-executes the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein to be executed by one or more processors, the program code including instructions to:
- output, by the backup/restore application, backup/restore options for a database to a user interface associated with the backup/restore application, the backup/restore application having backup/restore commands that trigger backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application, the backup/restore options including selectable backup/restore parameters for at least one of recovery model for a database backup or a destination for the database backup;
- generate, by the backup/restore application, scripting language commands by:

- mapping the custom native script commands to the backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application;
- and
- modifying the custom native script commands to include at least one of the backup/restore parameters, the at least one of the backup/restore parameters being selected from the user interface associated with the backup/restore application;
- output, by the backup/restore application, the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter generated by the backup/restore application to the user interface associated with the backup/restore application;
- execute, by the backup/restore application, the backup or restore functionality by:
- receiving, by a plug-in provided by the backup/restore application, the at least one backup/restore parameter from the relational database management system in response to the relational database management system executing the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter, the execution of the generated scripting language commands causing back up of the database by parsing the modified custom native scripts to identify the backup/restore parameters, and mapping the backup/restore parameters to the backup or restore functionality supported by the backup/restore application;
- and
- receiving, by the backup/restore application, data via the plug-in when the relational database management system subsequently re-executes the modified custom native script commands including the at least one backup/restore parameter.
