Ill work on it ASAP. Let's go to the BSP first ;)some minutes I had a look at it. It looks promising! Some suggestions: 1) add a config file to the script. Use some simple and human readable format. Config::Tiny will do. The motivation is. if you make the configuration of the database ( user name and password) external, you can not make the mistake to upload any password to the SVN. So having to deal with a password in a script should only be done via: a) cfg file or b) command line option. But not saved in a script.
b) is bad as everyone else on the system can grab the password.
So either a) or c) password by prompt or d) .my.cnf or similar file for other
databases.
