wildcard for db dump

[tschlich]

dumping with
--prefix=news
also dumps "newsCategory" or "newsSomething"

would be great to get those other tables dumped only when using a wildcard
--prefix=news >>> dumps "news"
--prefix=news* >>> dumps "news", "newsCategory", "newsSomething"

I think we should implement this with multiple --include and --exclude options. Maybe --includeTables and --excludeTables.

[tschlich]

what would that mean for usage?

--prefix=news 
--exclude=newsCategories,newsSomething

or

--include=news 
--exclude=newsCategories,newsSomething

or

--include=news 
--exclude=newsCategories,newsSomething

or to get all dumped

--include=news,newsCategories,newsSomething

[schmunk42]

Was merely about wildcards/regex, maybe we shouldn't allow mixing --prefix with --include/exclude...

Dump all news Tables except for newsCategories and newsSomething

--include=news*
--exclude=newsCategories
--exclude=newsSomething

Just dump news Table

--include=news

[tschlich]

so

--include=news*
--exclude=newsCategories

would dump "news" and "newsSomething" or only "newsSomething" because the wildcard means there has to be more...?
