Description of problem:
restore.sh woes, unable to restore engine DB without '-u postgres'.

the whole way how it works looks funny to me, see below:

~~~

* when 'engine' db does not exist (after rhevm-cleanup)

obviously! that's the reason why i'm doing restore, to get the DB!

# /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/restore.sh -d engine -f /var/lib/ovirt-engine/backups/*sf17_5.sql

The recommended way for restoring your database is.
        1) Backup current database with backup.sh
        2) Run restore.sh and give new database instance name as the target
        3) Edit JBOSS standalone.xml to run the new restored database instance
        4) Verify that all tasks in the application are completed
        5) Restart JBOSS

* finally this works (see '-u postgres')

/usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/restore.sh -d engine -f /var/lib/ovirt-engine/backups/*sf17_5.sql -r -u postgres

~~~

And... again this scripts make files in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts... (See BZ947344)

# find /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts -type f -mtime 0 -ls
   334    4 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root         3258 Jun 20 13:52 /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/restore.sh.log
    84   12 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        10244 Jun 20 13:52 /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/upgrade.sh.log

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sf17.5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rhevm-cleanup
2. put back files from backup (/etc/ovirt-engine/.pgpass)

   cat > /etc/ovirt-engine/.gpass << _EOF
   localhost:5432:*:postgres:somecoolpass
   localhost:5432:*:engine:somecoolpass
   _EOF
3. try restore.sh without using '-u postgres', see above

Actual results:
default username for database looks useless, i have to use '-u postgres' to be able to restore the DB

Expected results:
either state you MUST be postgresql admin (change --help output) or correct the script

Additional info:

* why do i need to have 'template0' db? what about if i nuke it and i want to restore 'engine' db? am i lost? wouldn't be better to have db template schema in a file and during restore dump it into postgres, then do restore of the 'engine' db, and then drop this template db?

Comment 1 Jiri Belka 2013-06-20 12:53:34 UTC
if 'template0' is really from postgresql itself, then ignore my comment about this :-)

Comment 2 Alex Lourie 2013-06-24 13:48:55 UTC
Jiri

If you look at script's usage, you can see that -U is a required, not optional parameter. We cannot create an object in the DB server (DB for instance) if we don't have a user to connect with.

About having to be postgresql admin - that is incorrect, all you need is a user with 'createdb' privilege (engine, for instance).

Template0 and template1 are indeed really importand DBs in postgres, please do not nuke them :-)

Let me know if this is still a relevant bug.

Comment 3 Jiri Belka 2013-06-25 14:00:31 UTC
Feel free to close the bug as I missed '-u' is mandatory. But I still doubt it is super user friendly ;)

Why this cannot work like some other web apps? You already have database and you have grants to it and then you just populate data? This does not work.

Comment 6 Jiri Belka 2013-11-14 14:57:01 UTC
Wrong escaping or usage of double quotes.

...
        2) Drop existing from root user by : su - postgres -c "psql -d template1 -c "drop database <db>;"" 
...

-%-
# su - postgres -c "psql -d template1 -c "drop database engine;""
ERROR:  syntax error at end of input
LINE 1: drop
            ^
-bash: : command not found
-%-

Either escape nested double quotes or use single quotes inside double quotes.

Same issue with following example from --help.

        3) Create a new blank db with the same name by:  su - postgres -c "psql -d template1 -c "create database <db> owner engine;"".

Why not to replace <db> to engine? If anybody wants to "clone" to different DB name, he would probably know how to do it...

Comment 8 Eli Mesika 2013-11-14 16:07:32 UTC
Please open as separate bug/s as the above in comment 6 and comment 7 has no relation to the original bug opened 
It will be much easier to track that if the verification will check only the reported bug.

Thanks

Comment 9 Jiri Belka 2013-11-15 08:18:32 UTC
For issue in comment #6 separate BZ opened - BZ1030806.

Otherwise ok is23.

Comment 10 Jiri Belka 2013-11-15 12:01:19 UTC
I had modified pg_hba.conf which was not what is default after engine-setup. This made my verification incorrect.

Sorry but thus restore.sh does not work by default:

Procedure:

* install clean rhevm
* drop database with command from `restore.sh --help` output
* create new database with command from `restore.sh --help` output
* use restore.sh for restore itself

* default pg_hba.conf after rhevm installation

Changing back to 'ASSIGNED' as it does not work by default.

Comment 11 Jiri Belka 2013-11-15 12:10:26 UTC
I'm not DBA but I found strange I had to change in pg_hba.conf also lines from 0.0.0.0/0 and ::0/0. This brought me to attention to what is '-h' by default. It is localhost, thus 127.0.0.1/32. But some psql commands involved in restore do not use localhost...

From output of restore.sh...

Shouldn't --host be unified in whole scripts involved?

(In reply to Jiri Belka from comment #11)

you don't have to change the pg_hba.conf , leave it as is

from 3.3 you have to set the password for the DB user , i.e 

> PGPASSWORD=<password>&&restore.sh .....

So you put '-w' into the script and now you want a user to setup PGPASSWORD environment variable. IMHO this is odd.

in 3.3 dbscripts scripts should not be used by customers/gss/qa unless explicitly instructed by engineering.

backup/restore should be executed using the new engine-backup script[bug#960280].
