--reset: Reset an existing OAR database to the state of the fresh new one.
--check: Check that OAR database is accessible and up to date (schema version).

General parameters

--conf=OAR_CONF_FILE: Define the OAR configuration file to use. By default /etc/oar/oar.conf is used. If this file doesn't exist, the default parameters for each value are used.
--update-conf: The database parameters given in the command line are written to the OAR_CONF_FILE
-f,--force-sql: Force to continue the execution even if a SQL command fails
-y,--force-yes: Force oar-database to continue without prompt even if it could be harmful.

Database backend parameters

These parameters are only required by the --create and --drop actions.

--db-is-local: Use local admin account to execute command (PostgreSQL).
--db-admin-user=DB_ADMIN_USER: Set database backend admin username.
--db-admin-pass=DB_ADMIN_PASS: Set database backend admin password.

OAR database parameters

If not specified, OAR database parameters are taken from OAR_CONF_FILE. Please prefer setting the configurations in that file instead of using these options.

--db-type=DB_TYPE: Database backend to use, mysql or Pg (for PostgreSQL).
--db-user=DB_USER: Set OAR username to access the database. Override the one set in OAR_CONF_FILE.
--db-pass=DB_PASS: Set OAR user password to access the database. Override the one set in OAR_CONF_FILE.
--db-host=DB_HOST: Set the database backend hostname. Override the one set in OAR_CONF_FILE.
--db-port=DB_PORT: Set the database backend TCP port. Override the one set in OAR_CONF_FILE.
--db-name=DB_NAME: Set OAR database name. Override the one set in OAR_CONF_FILE.
--db-ro-user=DB_RO_USER: Set OAR username for read-only access the database. Override the one set in OAR_CONF_FILE.

EXAMPLES

MySQL

First you need to specify the database parameters in /etc/oar/oar.conf. These parameters will be used by oar-database.

To create a new database (assuming that the MySQL root password is PASS):

oar-database --create --db-admin-user root --db-admin-pass PASS

To upgrade an existing database:

oar-database --upgrade

PostgreSQL

First you need to specify the database parameters in /etc/oar/oar.conf. These parameters will be used by oar-database. If your PostgreSQL database is on the local system, you can use the --db-is-local option which will use PostgreSQL unix account (needs root privileges).

To create a new database:

oar-database --create --db-is-local

To upgrade an existing database:

oar-database --upgrade

Advanced usages

To make some tests or to administrate several databases, you can also specify the sql parameters on the command line. For example:

oar-database --create --db-type=Pg --db-host=HOST \
--db-user=oar --db-pass=PASS \
--db-admin-user=ADMIN_USER --db-admin-pass=ADMIN_PASS

will create the oar database and the oar user on the postgresql system hosted by HOST. The user ADMIN_USER must have the right to create new databases and new roles on this system.
