INITIALIZE_BODHI_DB(1)

💖 INITIALIZE_BODHI_DB(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the bodhi manual — section 1, the one and only. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's talk about the girl who sets up your whole database from scratch.

---

✨ NAME ✨

initialize_bodhi_db — she initializes bodhi's database. that's it, that's the job, and she ate 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

initialize_bodhi_db CONFIG_URI

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: initialize_bodhi_db is the one you call when you need to create the initial database tables for the Bodhi server. like, brand new baby tables, fresh out of the box, no cap.

the way it knows where to put them? you hand her a CONFIG_URI, and she uses it to find the database settings she should be using. she does not guess, she does not improvise — she reads the config like the main character she is. periodt.

---

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

look, here's the whole thing in action:

$ initialize_bodhi_db /etc/bodhi/production.ini

iconic. she reads that config, she finds the db settings, she builds the tables. slay.
