[drupal-devel] [feature] Database Table Creation Script
Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20530 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: danielc Updated by: danielc Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/create.php.v1.txt (11.43 KB) Attached is a PHP script that creates all of the database tables for all sites in /drupal/sites/*. It works with CVS checkouts of either HEAD or the DRUPAL-4-6 branch as of 2005-04-14 19:00 UTC. Until it gets added to CVS, you can use it by saving the latest version of the file from this page, rename it "create.php" and put it in the "/drupal/database" directory. Then either execute it from the command line or point your web browser to it. For exact usage instructions, read the documentation inside the script. danielc
Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20530 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: danielc Updated by: nkurz Status: patch Thanks Daniel! I got it, used it, and it worked fine. Documentation and instructions were very clear. I had to modify a bit because I had already created the set of tables for my 'default' site, so at first it failed because the 'access' table already existed. I got around this by just putting in a hardcoded test for 'if ($site == 'default') {continue;}, but obviously this isn't a general solution. It would probably be good (if you are interested in making this more generally useful) to add a way to specify which sites to create tables for, or alternatively which sites to ignore creating tables for. I'm guessing that many people (like me) are going to want something like this when the add a new site, and not only when there are setting up a new system. The easiest way of doing this might be to just change the error handling if a table creation fails. Instead of stopping, it could just ignore the error and continue. --nate nkurz Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 15, 2005 - 00:27 : danielc Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/create.php.v1.txt (11.43 KB) Attached is a PHP script that creates all of the database tables for all sites in /drupal/sites/*.

Good.
add a way to specify which sites to create tables for
Simple. Temporarily those directories out of /drupal/sites. Though that would cause problems for live sites.

An interesting thought. danielc Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 14, 2005 - 19:27 : danielc Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/create.php.v1.txt (11.43 KB) Attached is a PHP script that creates all of the database tables for all sites in /drupal/sites/*.

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20530 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/20530 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system -Category: feature requests +Category: support requests Priority: normal -Assigned to: Anonymous +Assigned to: nbd Reported by: danielc Updated by: nbd Status: patch (code needs review) While running crate.php I came into this problem: Duplicate entry 'modules/block.module' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO system VALUES ('modules/block.module','block','module',"1,0,0) I assume it's because the settings table is shared by the subsites and create.php tries to update it again for each subsite. what can I do now? For the moment I do want the settings I change to be effective across the sub-sites. In the future I may want seperate settings for each. For additional information my specific sites db_prefix is as follows: $db_prefix = array( 'default' => 'abc_', 'authmap' => 'shared_', 'profile_fields' => 'shared_', 'profile_values' => 'shared_', 'role' => 'shared_', 'sequences' => 'shared_', 'sessions' => 'shared_', 'users' => 'shared_', 'users_roles' => 'shared_', 'users_uid_seq' => 'shared_', // for pgsql ); Thanks, nbd nbd Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 15 Apr 2005 00:27:01 +0000 : danielc Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/create.php.v1.txt (11.43 KB) Attached is a PHP script that creates all of the database tables for all sites in /drupal/sites/*. It works with CVS checkouts of either HEAD or the DRUPAL-4-6 branch as of 2005-04-14 19:00 UTC. Until it gets added to CVS, you can use it by saving the latest version of the file from this page, rename it "create.php" and put it in the "/drupal/database" directory. Then either execute it from the command line or point your web browser to it. For exact usage instructions, read the documentation inside the script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 17 Apr 2005 18:21:30 +0000 : nkurz Thanks Daniel! I got it, used it, and it worked fine. Documentation and instructions were very clear. I had to modify a bit because I had already created the set of tables for my 'default' site, so at first it failed because the 'access' table already existed. I got around this by just putting in a hardcoded test for 'if ($site == 'default') {continue;}, but obviously this isn't a general solution. It would probably be good (if you are interested in making this more generally useful) to add a way to specify which sites to create tables for, or alternatively which sites to ignore creating tables for. I'm guessing that many people (like me) are going to want something like this when the add a new site, and not only when there are setting up a new system. The easiest way of doing this might be to just change the error handling if a table creation fails. Instead of stopping, it could just ignore the error and continue. --nate ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 17 Apr 2005 22:56:10 +0000 : danielc Nate:
it worked fine.
Good.
add a way to specify which sites to create tables for
Simple. Temporarily those directories out of /drupal/sites. Though that would cause problems for live sites.

An interesting thought. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 15 Jul 2005 23:00:19 +0000 : justin3 Would it be possible to change this value in the create.php script $sites_dir = '../sites'; change '../sites' to '../newsites' would this allow me add two new directories with their settings.php file into the 'newsites' folder and have these table-prefixes added by the script, then i could move the new sites to the regular 'sites' folder...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 24 Jul 2005 02:13:34 +0000 : cre8d I'd love to get this working but I ran into a problem - I get this error: Found no valid settings.php files in /drupal/sites/*.' I have followed the previous person's suggestion, as I've already created the tables for my default site and have changed the code to look in newsites. It seems to fail at this point: if ($db_url == $default_url) { continue; } $db_url and $default_url are the same on purpose because I want to use the same database for both of the sites and share some tables. Any help appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 03 Sep 2005 19:54:36 +0000 : petepope When I tried to execute it through the browser, I got the following error message: "Fatal error: Table 'access' already exists query: CREATE TABLE access ( aid tinyint(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, mask varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', type varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', status tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (aid) ) TYPE=MyISAM in /home/petepope/public_html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66" I'm a relative newbie to this game, and I'd appreciate any help that might be forthcoming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 03 Sep 2005 21:24:41 +0000 : Bèr Kessels please start a new issue for new questions or issues, do no 'hijack' existing issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 19:06:41 +0000 : petepope Ber - I fail to see how reporting an issue with the script that is the topic of the thread can be 'hijacking'. Rather than upset anybody, though, I will open a new issue... - Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 19:44:06 +0000 : Bèr Kessels Sorry. It was unclear to me that your error had anything to do with the script. Sorry for that. I was referring to changing the state of the issue to 'support' and then to 4.6. This is a patch for CVS, and not a place to post support issues for 4.6 Puttingversion back to CVS.
