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 for details.
41   
42   
43Old files, kept to allow people to upgrade from very old versions of PyKota :   
44=============================================================================
45   
46  * VERYOLDpykota-upgrade-postgresql.sql :
47 
48    This file upgrades the PostgreSQL Quota Storage Database schema
49    from versions before 1.01 to version 1.01.
50   
51    IT'S THERE FOR HISTORICAL REASONS ONLY : DON'T USE IT, USE
52    THE SCRIPT DESCRIBED BELOW INSTEAD !
53   
54  * upgrade-from-before-1.03.py :
55 
56    This shell script upgrades the PostgreSQL Quota Storage Database schema
57    from versions 1.01 or 1.02 to version 1.03.
58    PLEASE DO A BACKUP OF YOUR PYKOTA DATABASE BEFORE RUNNING THIS SCRIPT !
59    Also this script will try to connect to PostgreSQL as the postgres user
60    (i.e. PostgreSQL's administrator), on the local machine (PyKota Storage
61    Server), without prompting for a password. Please read this script and
62    adapt it to your own configuration before running it. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
63   
64    THIS SCRIPT MAKES ANY REASONABLE CHECK TO ENSURE THAT YOUR DATAS WON'T
65    BE LOST, AND ALSO DUMPS YOUR OLD DATABASE TO A TEXT FILE BEFORE DOING
66    ANYTHING. IT WAS TESTED SEVERAL TIMES AND SHOULDN'T PRODUCE ANY ERROR
67    EXCEPT ABOUT THE pykotaadmin and pykotauser POSTGRESQL USERS WHO
68    ALREADY EXIST WHEN THE DATABASE SCHEMA IS UPGRADED. THIS IS NORMAL !
