Database CLI Tool

The smdba tool allows you to manage the installed PostgreSQL database. It allows you to backup and restore the database, as well as administration tasks like creating, verifying, and restarting the database. The tool works on local databases only.

サーバコンテナ内でシェルにアクセスするには、コンテナホストでmgrctl termを実行します。そこから、CLIツールを通常どおりに実行できます。

The smdba tool replaces the older db-control tool. The db-control tool is now unsupported.

After you stop or restart the database, you need to restart the SUSE Manager services.
