Dump data to file

[pjebs]

Is there a way to dump the in-memory data to file and load it back up later?

You can connect a mysqldump to a server you are running (as long as it is not embedded) and dump the database.

I'm trying to embed the database.

[timsehn]

You need to start a server on a port then. go-mysql-server provides this interface.

How hard would it be to just save the binary of what ever is stored in memory?

[pjebs]

Or would sqlite be what I'm really after?

[timsehn]

Not that hard but we never got around to it. We would take a contribution:

#2428

Is there a single struct somewhere in the memory package that contains all the data?

I should be able to use the encode/gob package to save the entire struct as binary
