rdm-initialize

Database Initialization Utility

Prototype

rdm-initialize [OPTION]... db-uri

Description

The rdm-initialize utility removes all rows in all tables from the database db-uri.

Warning: This utility will delete all existing data in the database.

Options

Short options can be combined into one string starting with a single '-'. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. Long option arguments can also be specified in a separate argument.

-h, --help	Display this usage information
--version	Display the version information
-q, --quiet	Quiet mode. No information will be displayed

--key=key

Specify the encryption key for the database ([algorithm:]passcode). The valid algorithms are xor, aes128, aes192 and aes256. The AES algorithms are only available for packages that have strong encryption support. If an algorithm is not specified, the default is aes128 for strong encryption packages and xor otherwise.

--docroot=path

Document root to use instead of the current working directory. The environment variable RDM_DOCROOT can also be used. (See Document Root (docroot))

-f, --force

Overwrite an existing destination database

--log-level=level	Set the log level ('--log-level=all', '--log-level=error', '--log-level=warning', '--log-level=info', '--log-level=mesg', or a number (5-99)) - the default is '99')
--err-level=level	Set the error level (all, error, warning, info, mesg,or a number (5-99)) - the default is info)

--use-ssl

Use SSL for remote connections

db-uri

An RDM database name or URI. See Database Identifier (db-uri) for more information.

Comments

Specifying a database name will by default open the database in the current working directory. However, specifying a database URI will open the database on a remote TFServer. Examples of database name or URIs:

'MY_DB', 'tfs-tcp://localhost:21553/MY_DB', 'tfs-shm://MY_TFS/MY_DB'.

This utility is uses the rdm_dbDeleteAllRowsFromDatabase() function to remove all rows from all tables in the database.
