Database tables exclusion

[Important]Important

This feature is only available in the JoomlaPack Plus builds.

Sometimes you can have multiple sites installed in the same database, a common situation with sub-domains on cheap hosts who allow only one MySQL database per account. Some other times you have installed a forum, a torrent tracker or whatever on a subdirectory of your site and it has created tables in your site's database. Now it is possible to exclude these tables using the Database tables exclusion feature.

[Note]Note

The settings on this page are defined per profile . Make sure you have selected the desired profile in the Control Panel page.

On the upper part of the page you can find two quick links. The first one, entitled Reset table filters will remove all database tables filters, usefull if you messed up and want to start over. The other one, entitled Filter non-Joomla! tables will exclude all tables not appearing to belong to your current Joomla! site from the backup set.

The main part of the page consists of a list of tables of your database. Clicking on a table name will toggle its exclusion status. Excluded tables appear in red bold type.

You may have noticed that there is a button entitled Tabular View in the toolbar of this page. Clicking on this icon changes the view to a Joomla!-standard tabular view. Its purpose is to provide a convenient interface for getting an overview of all applied filters, no matter how deep they are in the file system hierarchy and - possibly - delete some of them.

All of the set filters are shown in a table, one filter per row. Clicking the check box on the left of the filter selects it. The Delete button on the toolbar removes the selected filters. The Normal View button returns you to the default view (non-tabular) of this filter.
