💖 NAME 💖

gm-fingerprint_db — the GNUmed server fingerprint database bestie 💅

okay so real talk, this lil script takes a pic of your GNUmed database so you can tell which database is which later. it's giving ✨forensic scientist✨ but make it postgres.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gm-fingerprint_db <target database> <gm-dbo password> [--with-dump]

so here's the tea on every single piece of that, no skips:

• <target database> — a GNUmed database (like, for example, "gnumed_VERSION") 🦋
• <gm-dbo password> — the password for the database owner <gm-dbo> 🔐
• [--with-dump] — if you pass this option, a dump of the database schema structure gets included, and it's created by this icon right here:

SELECT gm.concat_table_structure();

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The gm-fingerprint_db script is your go-to when you wanna fingerprint a GNUmed database 💅 — it helps you identify particular databases or verify database transfers. and bestie, please note the way that it's for transfers, not upgrades. not upgrades, periodt. 🙈

The fingerprint of the database gets written to this file:

gm_db-<target database>-fingerprint.log

and it lands in the current directory, so don't go looking in some random folder, it's literally right there. 🫶

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

Fingerprint the database gnumed_v20:

gm-fingerprint_db gnumed_v20 secret-password

Include a database schema structure dump too:

gm-fingerprint_db gnumed_v20 secret-password --with-dump

see how easy?? main character energy fr fr 👑
