Open Banana

Openbanana is a gem that, currently, provides a db:grant rake task for Rails projects.

What this db:grant task does is creates the database and sets up the initial grants for the database configured in the config/database.yml file

To use Openbanana, include it in your Rakefile:

require 'openbanana/tasks'

And in your Gemfile:

gem "openbanana"

Make sure you have a source for either maestro or dogwood in your Gemfile.```

Environment variables

• DB_USER overrides the default user (root) to grant privileges
• DB_PASSWORD overrides the default password (empty) to grant privileges
• DB_HOST overrides the hostname for the database server (defaults to localhost)

For sharded configurations using a shards.yml file (such as using the octopus gem, see https://github.com/tchandy/octopus) or with extra sharded entries in database.yml (named production or development, etc.; such as using the data_fabric gem, see https://github.com/bpot/data_fabric), adds a db:grant_shards task to create and grant for a set of shard databases.

An example shard.yml looks like:

octopus:
  ...
  production:
    ungrouped_shard:
      adapter: mysql2
      database: foo
      .... also specify username, password, host, etc.
    shard_group:
      shard1:
        database: bar_1
        ....
      shard2:
        database: bar_2
        ....
   ...

or entries in database.yml that look like:

...
shard_1_production:
  adapter: mysql2
  database: foo_prod_s1
  .. etc.
shard_2_production:
  ...
