[ckan-dev] How the database should be reset?

[Richard Gomes]

hello,

I loaded test data provided by CKAN into the database.

I don't know if this is relavant... anyway, for your information:
After that I did some tests using the FileStore API, when I associated 
documents to one of the datasets, like this:
       1 base_location='http://ckan.localdomain:5000/api'
       2 api_key= ...
       3 http_user='rgomes'
       4 http_pass=...
       5
       6
       7 def filelist(folder='.'):
       8     import os
       9     for root, dir, files in os.walk(folder):
      10         for file in files:
      11             path = '%s/%s' % (root, file)
      12             yield path
      13     return
      14
      15
      16 import ckanclient
      17 cli = ckanclient.CkanClient(base_location=base_location, 
api_key=api_key, http_user=http_user, http_pass=http_pass, is_verbose=True)
      18
      19 pkg = 'warandpeace'
      20 for path in filelist('/home/rgomes/tmp/upload'):
      21     print path
      22     print cli.add_package_resource(pkg, path)


Then I've tried to recreate the database from scratch, like this:

#!/bin/bash

set -x
sudo -u postgres dropdb ${CKAN_DATABASE}
sudo -u postgres dropuser ${CKAN_USERNAME}

sudo -u postgres createuser -S -D -R -P ${CKAN_USERNAME}
sudo -u postgres createdb -O ${CKAN_USERNAME} ${CKAN_DATABASE} -E utf-8

paster db init -c $CKAN_ETC/default/development.ini
paster sysadmin add rgomes -c $CKAN_ETC/default/development.ini
set +x


Notice that I didn't loaded the test data after that!


For my surprise, CKAN says that there are 2 datasets available.
The datasets are not actually listed, but it says that there are 2 
datasets available.
The faceted search tags associates 2 datasets to david and 1 to roger, 
etc... like if the datasets where still there.

Any idea about how this sort of information survived a complete wipe out 
of database tables ?

Thanks
