Managing databases

To manage quizzam_dev and quizzam_test, we reccomend using Postico.

Alternatively, here is a psql cheatsheet.

Respository

To start the app, we will need to run the build and server in seperate terminal windows.

In build window

npm run build

In server window

• Quizzam should be running without any seed data
• You can now follow the Migrating Database instructions below.

Database Part 2

Migrating Database (Skip this section until after repository is installed)

Knex is included to create the schema for quizzam_dev and quizzam_text. We have also provided initial seed data, for your use.

knex migrate:latest

knex seed:run

Re-Migrate the database

In some cases after using the app and adding dummy data, we might want to reapply the initial seed data. To do this, we rollback the migration and reaaply with the seed data.

knex migrate:rollback

knex migrate:latest

knex seed:run
