Description:

This program populates an already existing PostgreSQL service with: - N databases. The specific amount of databases is parametrized through the -n argument. - N tables inside each database. The specific amount of tables is parametrized through the -t argument. - Some data rows inside every table. The specific amount of rows is parametrized through the -r argument.

This program will make sure that local postgreSQL service contains, at least, the amount of databases and tables defined in the required command line arguments -n (–num_db) and -t (–num_tables) per database. It will also add the amount of rows specified in the -r parameter. This program will NOT delete any database, table or row.

Requirements:

A running postgreSQL database must be previously configured. To make this software works, the user that runs this script must have the ~/.pgpass properly configured. To get this done, I recommend you to use the scripts stored in the next repository: https://gitlab.com/jaqm/carto_test.git
