Hi; Currently there are a couple different ways of installing the database. I am going to propose merging all of those together into one approach which can both be considered better tested and provide better assurances of getting everything correct. This approach could also be extended by addons to allow installation of portions through this same workflow.
I just added a couple of scripts to test database creation routines. However, I added some hooks that allow the database to remain around after the tests have finished. I would suggest we move install_mycompany.sh to this framework as well as the initiate.pl In this case, instead of just installing the database, we would go through a bunch of other things, run tests on the database, and ensure it is in a consistent state by the end of the installation. Install_mycompany.sh and initiate,pl could both function as light-weight wrappers around make test in this regard. What do folks think? For example, with latest svn, if you run (as one line): LSMB_TEST_DB=1 LSMB_NEW_DB=lsmb13test PG_CONTRIB_DIR=/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/ PGUSER=postgres PGPASSWORD=secret make test it will try to create a database (lsmb13test) using the postgres account (and password of secret) run tests of Perl code and db logic, and then remove the database. If the database cannot be created, the test script exits immediately so you don't have to worry about accidently dropping a production db. However if you set the LSMB_INSTALL_DB environment variable to a true value, it will leave the db around afterwards. LSMB_TEST_DB=1 LSMB_NEW_DB=lsmb13 LSMB_INSTALL_DB=1 PG_CONTRIB_DIR=/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/ PGUSER=postgres PGPASSWORD=secret make test All I have left to do is to add variables to handle the administrative user creation. After that point, it should be good to go. This would not prevent the make test from being run against a production db, but use PGDATABASE instead of LSMB_NEW_DB.
