Database Notes

This service uses a Postgres DB to track collection data. The schema is managed by https://github.com/golang-migrate/migrate and the scripts are in ./db/migrations.

Install the migrate binary on your host system. For OSX, the easiest method is brew. Execute:

brew install golang-migrate.

Define your PSQL connection params in an environment variable, like this:

export COLL_DB=postgres://v4_collections:pass@localhost:5432/v4_collections?sslmode=disable

Run migrations like this:

migrate -database ${COLL_DB} -path db/migrations up

Example migrate commads to create a migration and run one:

  • migrate create -ext sql -dir db/migrations -seq update_user_auth
  • migrate -database ${COLL_DB} -path db/migrations/ up

Sample setup of a user for local testing:

postgres=# create database v4_collections; postgres=# create user v4_collections with encrypted password 'pass'; postgres=# grant all privileges on database v4_collections to v4_collections;
