This is a library class to export structure as well as data from tables also export complete db in sql file.

The implementation is very simple. Example implementation is below:

Code:
// Load Export sql library
$this->load->library('export_sql');
//  Add where clause
        $where = array(
            'id' => 123,
        );

        //  Create list of tables to be exported.
        //  Mark whether to dump data as true/false
        //  By default its false.
        $tables = array(
            'table1'        => TRUE,
            'table2'     => TRUE,
        );

        $this->export_sql->export($tables, $where, FALSE); // If true is provided for the last argument, it will export full DB.

Place the attached library file in you application libraries directory

it also provides backup functionality and some other handy tools too.
