22Documentation for the pykota-postgresql.sql script :
23----------------------------------------------------
24
25This script is to be used to create an empty Quota Storage
26DataBase using PostgreSQL as a backend.
27
28If you have already installed PyKota, and have datas in your
29Quota Storage DataBase, you may prefer to skip this section
30and read the next one.
31
32        - Launch the psql frontend and connect to the
33          database template1 as a PostgreSQL administrator
34          (i.e. the postgres user) :
35         
36            $ psql -h localhost -U postgres template1
37         
38        - Executes the pykota-postgresql.sql script : 
39       
40            template1=# \i pykota-postgresql.sql
41           
42        - Quit the psql frontend :   
43       
44            template1=# \q
45           
46        - Your PostgreSQL PyKota storage is now ready
47          for use.

51Upgrade scripts :
52
53  DON'T DO ANYTHING IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST INSTALLATION
54  OF PYKOTA.
55
56  Some scripts to upgrade old PyKota databases to the new
57  database schema are included. You may have to run all
58  of them or only some of them, depending on your
59  version of PyKota.
60 
61  * An SQL script to upgrade a 1.20 PyKota Storage DataBase to
62    1.21 is included. Launch it this way on the Quota Storage Server :
63   
64        $ psql -U postgres pykota
65        pykota=# \i upgrade-to-1.21.sql
66        pykota=# \q
67        $
68       
69    This script adds many fields to existing tables, and also adds
70    some tables in indexes.
71   
72  * An SQL script to upgrade a 1.18 PyKota Storage DataBase to
73    1.19 is included. Launch it this way on the Quota Storage Server :
74   
75        $ psql -U postgres pykota
76        pykota=# \i upgrade-to-1.19.sql
77        pykota=# \q
78        $
79       
80    This script adds a field to the print job history. The field that
81    is added is : hostname
82   
83  * An SQL script to upgrade a pre-1.16 PyKota Storage DataBase to
84    1.16 is included. Launch it this way on the Quota Storage Server :
85   
86        $ psql -U postgres pykota
87        pykota=# \i upgrade-to-1.16.sql
88        pykota=# \q
89        $
90       
91    This script adds some fields to the print job history, so that
92    more complete information will be known. The fields that
93    are added are : jobprice, filename, title, copies and print
94    command options. Also some indexes are created to speed things up.
95 
96What is below is for historical reasons only, real people don't use 
97such old beasts, and YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER !
98
99  * An SQL script to upgrade a pre-1.14 PyKota Storage DataBase to
100    1.14 is included. Launch it this way on the Quota Storage Server :
101   
102        $ psql -U postgres pykota
103        pykota=# \i upgrade-to-1.14.sql
104        pykota=# \q
105        $
106       
107    This script adds an "email" field for each user. This field, if not   
108    NULL, is used as the email address of the user when sending warning
109    messages in case he is over quota.
110   
111  * An sql script to upgrade a pre-1.01 PyKota Quota Storage DataBase to
112    1.01 is still included for historical reasons. PLEASE DON'T USE IT !
113 
114  * If you are already running an old version of PyKota (<1.03) and
115    want to upgrade to 1.03, YOU HAVE TO RUN the
116    upgrade-from-before-1.03.py shell script. NOT LAUNCHING THIS SCRIPT
117    WILL CAUSE PYKOTA TO STOP WORKING ! PLEASE NEVER RUN THIS SCRIPT IF
118    YOUR EXISTING VERSION OF PYKOTA IS ALREADY 1.03 OR HIGHER.
