Recreate database from backup

[ddeboer]

Several libraries, such as LiipFunctionalTestBundle, h4ccAliceFixturesBundle and VIPSoft DoctrineDataFixturesExtension, provide their own implementation of:

• recreating the database between tests
• restoring the database from a backup, e.g. by copying a file (for SQLite) or doing a mysqldump (for MySQL)

Would this functionality be in the scope of doctrine/data-fixtures? If so, I would be willing to extract the implementations and add them here. We can then try to convince the separate implementors to use the ‘official’ one instead, which will ease future maintainability. What do you think?

Could this feature be part of a separate library that would add a command wrapping data-fixtures?
