Loading the Data After a Schema Change

  • After setting up Heroku access to the anyway app, run heroku config --app anyway and copy the value of CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL.
  • Install mysql-workbench on your computer and run it.
  • Run mysql-workbench and add a new connection with the credentials from the value of CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL: the part until the : is the username; after that is the password; after the @ and before the / is the hostname. Leave the port as it is.
  • Connect to the newly added connection, and in the sidebar select all entries under Tables, right click and drop all tables.
  • Back in your shell, run export CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL=<the value you got from heroku>`
  • Run python models.py to create the tables.
  • Get the latest data and extract it to a directory static/data/lms/.
  • Run python process.py to add the data to the tables.
