dbsnapper sanitize¶

Used to sanitize a snapshot

Synopsis¶

The dbsnapper sanitize command sanitizes the specified database snapshot and takes a target_name and snapshot_index as arguments.

The target_name is the name of the target defined in the configuration file.

The snapshot_index is the index number of the snapshot to load.

Note

The target configuration must specifiy a query_file configuration parameter that specifies the path to the file containing the sanitization query. Absolute paths are used as-is, while relative paths are resolved relative to the working_directory

This command will use the database specified in the sanitize: dst_url: configuration parameter, load the specified snapshot into the database, and then sanitize the database using the specified query. If sanitize: dst_url: is not specified, the command will use an ephemeral database via docker container.

If you would like to create a new snapshot set (unsanitized and sanitized snapshots), you can use the -n flag. This will create a new snapshot set for the target.

If you want to force ephemeral sanitization, you can use the -e flag. This will force the command to use an ephemeral database for sanitization, overriding the sanitize: dst_url configuration parameter.

The resulting sanitized database will be dumped to a file in the working_directory specified in the conifiguration and will be associated with the snapshot.
