Shell Script Question
Hi all
I want u to help answer this question
( A shell script should be named new_database.sh and its purpose is to create a new database. It accepts two arguments, the first is SCHEMA_NAME and the second is a DATABASE_NAME. For instance, below is an example invocation of the new_database.sh script and response.
$ .new_database.sh persons tutors
DATABASE ‘tutors’ USING SCHEMA 'persons' HAS BEEN CREATED.
The name of the database and the schema it uses should be appended to the databases.txt file.
Below is an example databases.txt file:
databases.txt
tutors persons
student persons
nina_12345_grades grades
intel company
If either the SCHEMA_NAME does not exist or the DATABASE_NAME already exists, then you the command prints an appropriate error message and exit. If the SCHEMA_NAME exists and the DATABASE_NAME is not already used, then the script should append the information to the end of the databases.txt file, create a new empty database file of the form DATABASE_NAME.db, and print a message that the database has been created.
)
thank you.

And the question is?0

Are you building your own text file based database or will this script be used with a database system like mysql or postgresql?
Also can you please post the contents of your script so we can review your progress and recommend modifications?0 -
here's a possible script skeleton. Copy the code below and paste into
a script file. Fill in with your commands (database creation, etc.).#!/bin/sh LOG=databases.txt usage() { cat <<END USAGE: $0 schema_name database_name provide description here END return 1 } create_database() { #enter the commands to create the database if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "created database $2 with schema $1" echo "$2 $1" >> $LOG return 0 else echo "your error message here" return 1 fi } #check number of arguments entered if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then usage exit $? fi create_database $1 $2
You should probably use absolute path for the log file, egLOG=$HOME/databases/databases.txt
That way you could invoke the script from anywhere.0
