Well I am getting my svk setup here to do some development on a few projects and I decided to try to get some automation in the setup. Seeing as I am currently hacking on Typo, I wanted someway for me to checkout the code from svk, setup my configs, and then put some test data into the databases.

Well using bash and some nice SQL I got a single script that will grab my database.yml config and then insert all my test data into my databases.

#!/bin/bash
# Script to setup my Typo development env.

cp /Users/eric/Development/Projects/\
typo-local/config/database.yml \config/database.yml

echo "Done with Configs"

mysql -u root --password=root typo_testing \
</users/eric/Development/Projects/typo-local/db/ta-dump.sql

echo "Done with Production Table"

mysql -u root --password=root typo_testing_dev \
< /Users/eric/Development/Projects/typo-local/db/ta-dump.sql

echo "Done with Development Table"

mysql -u root --password=root typo_testing_tests \
< /Users/eric/Development/Projects/typo-local/db/ta-dump.sql

echo "Done with Tests Table"

So now for some sample SQL :

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `settings`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `settings` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(255) default NULL,
  `value` varchar(255) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) TYPE=InnoDB;

So this SQL will drop the table settings and then insert the new one. This will make sure I have fresh data and works fine on all three databases (development, production, tests).

So now after I checkout and patch my next source for testing I just run

typo-setup.sh

And my databases and configs are ready to go, just fire up Webrick and go at it.

Later I will post on my new svk setup.
