In a directory I have a config file with my db variables.
This file (db/database.ini
) looks like this:
[PostgreSQL]
host=localhost
database=...
user=postgres
password=...
I have another file (db/create_stmts.sql
) where I have all my raw create table statements, and i am trying to experiment the use of a Makefile to have a command like this:
make create-db from_file=db/create_stmts.sql
In order not to repeat myself, I thought of tail
ing the variables of db/database.ini
to a file which I would then source, creating shell variables to pass to psql
in the make file.
Here's my plan:
make-db:
# from_file: path to .sql file with all create statements to create the database where to insert
# how to run: make create-db from_file={insert path to sql file}
file_path=$(PWD)/file.sh
tail -n4 db/database.ini > file.sh && . $(file_path)
# -U: --user
# -d: --database
# -q: --quiet
# -f: --file
psql -U $(user) -d $(database) -q -f $(from_file) && rm file.sh
Which I run by: make create-db from_file=db/create_stmts.sql
Which gives me this message - from which i kindof understand that the sourcing just did not work.
#from_file: path to .sql file with all create statements to create the database where to insert
# how to run: make create-db from_file={insert path to sql file}
file_path=/home/gabriele/Desktop/TIUK/companies-house/file.sh
tail -n4 db/database.ini > file.sh && .
# -U: --user
# -d: --database
# -q: --quiet
# -f: --file
psql -U -d -q -f db/schema_tables.sql && rm file.sh
psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "-d"
Makefile:3: recipe for target 'create-db' failed
make: *** [create-db] Error 2
Any help?
