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 name of the file (located in the working_directory) that contains the sanitization query
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.
