rivus_db documentation

rivus_db is a database helper extension for the rivus project. It helps you set up and manage a PostgreSQL database for the project, with some specific configuration. (Specific for my current work with rivus.)

However, the core functions are general enough to serve as a good starting point for any related projects. Feel free to fork the repository and adjust it to your needs.

In Overview, you can get a broad impression, what the goal(s) of this package is (are), and what you can and cannot do with these tools.

In Introduction, I gathered some information about the Postgresql database itself, and how I suggest to install it (multi-platform, without admin/root privileges). At the end of the walk-through, you will have seen the current work-flow with rivus_db.

Under Reference, you can find the detailed entity diagram and description of the scripts.
