How can I automate SQL database restoration?

How can I automate SQL database restoration?

You can automate SQL database restoration using scripts and scheduling tools like cron jobs or SQL Server Agent.

What scripting language should I use for this?

You can use PowerShell for SQL Server or Bash scripts for MySQL, depending on your database system.

Can you provide a sample script for MySQL?

Sure! Here's a basic Bash script:

#!/bin/bash

DB_NAME='your_database'
DB_USER='your_user'
DB_PASS='your_password'

mysql -u $DB_USER -p$DB_PASS $DB_NAME < /path/to/backup.sql

Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual database details.

How do I schedule this script to run daily?

You can use a cron job. Just add a line to your crontab like this:

0 2 * * * /path/to/your_script.sh

This will run the script every day at 2 AM.
