}

Setup

Configuration

The plugin will automatically:

• Publish configuration files to config/database-tools.php
• Publish view files to resources/views/vendor/database-tools/
• Publish migration files to database/migrations/
• Register necessary routes and middleware

Database Configuration

Configure database tools in the published config file:

// config/database-tools.php
return [
    'backup' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'path' => storage_path('backups/database'),
        'retention_days' => 30,
    ],
    'import' => [
        'max_file_size' => '10MB',
        'allowed_extensions' => ['csv', 'xlsx', 'json'],
    ],
    'export' => [
        'chunk_size' => 1000,
        'timeout' => 300,
    ],
    'permissions' => [
        'admin_only' => true,
        'allowed_roles' => ['admin', 'database_manager'],
    ],
];

Environment Variables

Add these to your .env file if needed:

Usage

Accessing Database Tools

1. Navigate to your Filament admin panel
2. Look for the "Database Tools" menu item
3. Choose the tool you want to use

Database Backup

1. Create Backup: Generate a new database backup
2. Schedule Backups: Set up automatic backup schedules
3. Download Backups: Download backup files locally
4. Restore Backups: Restore from previous backups
5. Manage Retention: Configure backup retention policies

Schema Management

1. View Tables: Browse all database tables and their structure
2. Modify Schema: Add, modify, or remove columns
3. Create Tables: Build new tables with custom schemas
4. Drop Tables: Safely remove unused tables
5. View Relationships: Explore table relationships and foreign keys

Data Import/Export

1. Import Data: Upload CSV, Excel, or JSON files
2. Export Data: Download table data in various formats
3. Bulk Operations: Perform operations on large datasets
4. Data Validation: Validate imported data before insertion
5. Error Handling: Manage import/export errors gracefully

Query Optimization

1. Query Analysis: Analyze slow queries and bottlenecks
2. Index Suggestions: Get recommendations for new indexes
3. Performance Monitoring: Track query execution times
4. Query History: Review and optimize previous queries

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Permission denied: Ensure the user has database management rights
• Backup failures: Check disk space and write permissions
• Import timeouts: Adjust chunk size and timeout settings
• Memory limits: Large operations may exceed PHP memory limits

Debug Steps

1. Check the plugin configuration:

php artisan config:show database-tools

2. Verify routes are registered:

php artisan route:list | grep database-tools

3. Test database connectivity:

php artisan tinker
# Test database connection manually

4. Check backup directory permissions:

ls -la storage/backups/database

5. Clear caches:

php artisan optimize:clear

6. Check logs for errors:

tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log

Performance Optimization

• Use smaller chunk sizes for large imports
• Schedule backups during low-traffic periods
• Monitor disk space for backup storage
• Use appropriate indexes for frequently queried columns

Security Considerations

Access Control

• Role-based permissions: Restrict access to authorized users only
• Database privileges: Use dedicated database users with limited permissions
• Audit logging: Track all database operations and changes
• Backup security: Secure backup files and access

Best Practices

• Never expose database tools to public users
• Regularly review and update user permissions
• Encrypt sensitive backup files
• Monitor and log all database changes
• Use read-only database users when possible

Uninstall

1. Remove Plugin Registration

Remove the plugin from your panel provider:

// remove ->plugin(\Filaforge\DatabaseTools\DatabaseToolsPlugin::make())

2. Roll Back Migrations (Optional)

php artisan migrate:rollback
# or roll back specific published files if needed

3. Remove Published Assets (Optional)

rm -f config/database-tools.php
rm -rf resources/views/vendor/database-tools

4. Remove Package and Clear Caches
