set -U fish_user_paths $fish_user_paths ~/unixy_time_tracker/

setup postgres

sudo --login --user=postgres psql -c "create user hours;"
sudo --login --user=postgres psql -c "alter user hours with password 'hours';"
sudo --login --user=postgres psql -c "create database 'hours';"
sudo --login --user=postgres pg_restore -c -C -s -v -d hours < hours_db
sudo --login --user=postgres psql -c "grant all privileges on database hours to hours;"

useful queries

PGPASSWORD='hours' psql -h localhost -U hours -d hours # -c "query"

delete from hours where ts < '2020-06-01 00:00:14.05933+01';

merge multiple databases

(create a working directory)

 md ~/hours/(date --iso)
 mkdir (hostname)
 mkdir other

(backup local really thoroughly)

sudo -u postgres pg_dump -d hours > (hostname)/dump
PGPASSWORD='hours' psql -h localhost -U hours -d hours -c "select * from hours order by ts;" > (hostname)/select
tt csv > (hostname)/csv
tt info > (hostname)/info

(dump on remote)

sudo -u postgres pg_dump -d hours > (hostname)/dump

(mount or copy the remote directory to other)

(load the dump)

PGPASSWORD='hours' psql -h localhost -U hours -d hours -f other/dump

general usage

(run the report)

tt csv > (hostname)/csv

(purge the hours table))

PGPASSWORD='hours' psql -h localhost -U hours -d hours -c "delete from hours"
