SQL Update

Unlike most APIs with NoSQL databases, Reference API has a SQL database for storage. In the light-reference repository, there is ref.sql, which is the source for the production reference. To execute the ref.sql on test4 or prod4, follow the steps below.

Copy the ref.sql to the remote server

cd ~/networknt/light-reference
scp ref.sql prod4:/home/[userid]/ref.sql

ssh to the test4 or prod4 and copy the file into the MySQL docker container

ssh prod4
docker ps
docker cp ref.sql [container-id]:/ref.sql

run the MySQL inside the docker

docker exec -it [container-id] mysql -u [mysqluser] -p ref

execute the ref.sql

source ref.sql
exit

restart the reference service

prod4

cd ~/networknt/light-config-prod/prod4
docker-compose restart reference

test4

cd ~/light-chain/light-config-test/test4
docker-compose restart reference

To double-check if the dropdown is updated after restarting the container. You can use the following URL to check. Please check the table that has been updated by the script.
