Subject: A script for parallelizing db updates, where possible
X-Git-Url: https://old-git.evergreen-ils.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=094194d8e99306ca99571a057b4f984ac8f78a52;p=working%2FEvergreen.git

A script for parallelizing db updates, where possible

This script takes a file of SQL commands, one complete command per line,
and applies them in parallel via psql.

Caveats:
 * no multi-line commands
 * no protection against foot-guns in the SQL (check for injections!)
 * probably will cause puppies to be eaten
