Database Text Dump Extractor
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a small utility that connects to my existing database and extracts all textual records held in two specific tables, t1 and t2. The tool should generate a clean, human-readable dump each time it runs, ideally naming the dump with a timestamp so I can archive successive versions.
Here’s what I expect:
• A script or lightweight executable (Python, Bash, or any language you’re comfortable with) that accepts my DB credentials and pinpoints only the t1 and t2 tables.
• The output in plain text or UTF-8 encoded CSV. No numerical or binary fields are required—only textual columns.
• Clear, commented source code plus a brief README showing setup, command-line usage, and any dependencies. A sample dump from a mock database will serve as proof it works.
• Any connection parameters kept in a config file or environment variables so I’m not hard-coding passwords.
Once I can run the tool locally and see the extracted text exactly as stored in the database, the job is done.
