EMS DB Extract for MySQL is a software utility designed to create backups of MySQL databases in the form of SQL scripts. It enables users to save both the metadata of all MySQL database objects and the data within tables, producing database snapshots that can be restored or migrated. The tool supports scripting database objects in dependency order and offers flexible customization, allowing selection of specific objects and tables for extraction. It features a graphical wizard for step-by-step guidance and a command-line utility for automated or scheduled backups.
