[INFO] How Works Dumps and Import with Valentina Server

[Ruslan Zasukhin]

I think this will be interesting for all:
    Ivan have write this in Mantis for 2859 issue.


---------------------------------
Look - any dump operation works in terms of client computer.
So it would be as easy as myDB.LoadDump("c:\Configuration.SQL","",kSQL).

Let's discover how it works. vClient reads the file and send it to the
server as well as other parameters. Most probably it would be compressed
data sending over the net. Note - server is able to handle another clients
at the moment. Then vServer reads the packet and gets dump-file content
into some temporary location. And finally runs kernel mechanic to load
dump from that temporary location.

So it is very efficient way to operate with files in client-server
environment.

1. Client operates with files in nature manner - no difference - local or
client mode.
2. Compression allows to reduce traffic and network loading.
3. Dump operation is performed for some temporary location on server side.
So it would be as fast as in local mode.
