inouk.recipe.setup_db is an anybox.recipe.odoo console script that complement upgrade.py script to create database. upgrade.py will abort if launched without a existing database. setup_db fills this gap by creating a database with correct owner after backing up any existing database.

setup_db uses Odoo internal to manipulate databases, so it takes care of data dir content.

In the openerp section your buildout.cfg, add inouk.recipe.odoo.setup_db egg:

[openerp] 
recipe = anybox.recipe.openerp:server
...

# ask buildout to get the package
eggs = inouk.recipe.odoo.setup_db

# ask the odoo recipe to create a script from inouk.recipe.setup_db
openerp_scripts = setup_db arguments=session

Then buildout your server with bin/buildout to get a bin/setup_db_openerp command.

Once your buildout is finished, bin/setup_db_openerp is ready to use.

When launched, bin/setup_db_openerp will:

• rename existing database by completing name with operation timestamp current tag of the buildout repository
• create a new Odoo database owned by openerp db_user

Invoke with -h for a description of supported parameters.
