Adding a User to Babase

• Users can be added to babase, as well as a schema created, and permissions set, by completing the following steps using a SSH client.

PGPASSWORD='*********' babase-user-add USERNAME babase_readers

• The ********* here would be the babase_admin password
• The Username selected will become not only the babase username and temporary password but also the schema name.
• It is very important that the user immediately change their password using PPA's password change option.

Copying the Babase Schema

The babase-copy-babase-schema Unix program copies the entire babase schema, including data, table definitions, validation, and everything else, from one database to another. All existing data, table definitions, validation, etc is deleted from the babase schema in the target database. You must be logged in to papio and at the Unix prompt to run the program.

The following example copies the babase schema from the babase database to the babase_test database. The first database (babase) is the database to copy from, the second (babase_test) the database to copy into.

PGPASSWORD='*********' babase-copy-babase-schema babase babase_test

• The ********* here would be the babase_admin password

The next example copies the babase scheme from the babase_test database to the babase_database. The program will not copy into the babase database unless the -f (force) flag is given.

PGPASSWORD='*********' babase-copy-babase-schema -f babase_test babase
