dblinter

Static conformity is largely used in the dev world but there is no such tool for databases schemas. This tool connect to a postgres database to check good practices in schema design and output a file in Sarif format. A configuration file describe the rule to enforce and acceptable threshold

An example of the output is: dblinter output

Launch dblinter

Docker

You can use the docker image if you prefer not to install python on your computer.

Launch the docker image

docker run --rm -t decathlon/dblinter:latest  --dbname $PGDATABASE --host $PGHOST --user $PGUSER --password $PGPASSWORD --port $PGPORT

Directly from the source

You can launch dblinter directly from the source code. You will need python and poetry to install the dependencies:

# Install poetry
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
# Install dependencies
poetry install --with dev
# Launch the program
poetry run python -m dblinter --dbname $PGDATABASE --host $PGHOST --user $PGUSER --password $PGPASSWORD --port $PGPORT

Usage


 Usage: python -m dblinter [OPTIONS]
