TALER-AUDITOR-DBINIT(1)

💅 TALER-AUDITOR-DBINIT(1) — setup auditor database

okay so this is taler-auditor-dbinit, a manual page from the GNU Taler world, and bestie, it's literally the "make the database exist" button. Let's get into it. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

taler-auditor-dbinit [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME] [-g | --gc]
[-h | --help] [-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL]
[-l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME] [-R | --reset] [-r | --restart]
[-v | --version]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So taler-auditor-dbinit is a command-line tool to initialize the Taler auditor database — and yes, the actual text of this page says taler-exchange-dbinit is a command-line tool to initialize the Taler exchange database. Not my typo, I'm just the messenger 💀. Either way: it creates the necessary tables and indices for the Taler exchange to operate. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly.

Its options are as follows:

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the exchange to operate from FILENAME.
• -g, --gc — garbage collect the database. Deletes all unnecessary data in the database. Spring cleaning but make it SQL 🧹.
• -h, --help — print short help on options.
• -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — specifies the log level to use. Accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR.
• -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — send logging output to FILENAME.
• -R, --reset — drop tables. Dangerous, will delete all existing data in the database. Like, all of it. No take-backs, no undo, no "wait bestie I didn't mean it" 😭.
• -r, --restart — restart all auditors from the beginning. Useful for testing. Fresh-start main character energy ✨.
• -v, --version — print version information.
