20============================================================
21
22This directory contains scripts to initialise the PyKota
23storage database. Use the one which best suits your need
24depending on the storage backend you want to use.
25
26There's one subdirectory per backend type supported.
27
28Files :
29=======
30
31  * postgresql/pykota-postgresql.sql :
32 
33    This file creates an empty Quota Storage Database, using PostgreSQL
34    as a backend. You have to use it the first time you install PyKota
35    if you want to use PostgreSQL as the Quota Storage Backend.
36   
37  * ldap/pykota.schema : 
38 
39    This file adds the necessary classes and attributes to an existing
40    LDAP directory for use with PyKota. Read this file and the
41    associated ldap/README.ldap files for details.
42   
43   
44Old files, kept to allow people to upgrade from very old versions of PyKota :   
45=============================================================================
46   
47  * VERYOLDpykota-upgrade-postgresql.sql :
48 
49    This file upgrades the PostgreSQL Quota Storage Database schema
50    from versions before 1.01 to version 1.01.
51   
52    IT'S THERE FOR HISTORICAL REASONS ONLY : DON'T USE IT, USE
53    THE SCRIPT DESCRIBED BELOW INSTEAD !
54   
55  * upgrade-from-before-1.03.py :
56 
57    This shell script upgrades the PostgreSQL Quota Storage Database schema
58    from versions 1.01 or 1.02 to version 1.03.
59    PLEASE DO A BACKUP OF YOUR PYKOTA DATABASE BEFORE RUNNING THIS SCRIPT !
60    Also this script will try to connect to PostgreSQL as the postgres user
61    (i.e. PostgreSQL's administrator), on the local machine (PyKota Storage
62    Server), without prompting for a password. Please read this script and
63    adapt it to your own configuration before running it. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
64   
65    THIS SCRIPT MAKES ANY REASONABLE CHECK TO ENSURE THAT YOUR DATAS WON'T
66    BE LOST, AND ALSO DUMPS YOUR OLD DATABASE TO A TEXT FILE BEFORE DOING
67    ANYTHING. IT WAS TESTED SEVERAL TIMES AND SHOULDN'T PRODUCE ANY ERROR
68    EXCEPT ABOUT THE pykotaadmin and pykotauser POSTGRESQL USERS WHO
69    ALREADY EXIST WHEN THE DATABASE SCHEMA IS UPGRADED. THIS IS NORMAL !
