# db-wait
[![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/volkerraschek/db-wait)](https://hub.docker.com/r/volkerraschek/db-wait)
With `db-wait` is it possible to wait in CI/CD environments until a database connection can be established and SQL
queries are possible.
This is very useful for example when a database is started for an integration test and it needs time to start and
initialize all schemes before the test connects to it.
## Usage
As argument db-wait expects a database URI. This can be different depending on the backend. Currently only oracle and
postgres are supported. The supported URI patterns can be found in the respective library or directly in the
documentation of the database backend.
For example:
```bash
# postgres
db-wait postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable
# oracle
db-wait oracle://user:password@localhost:1521/xe
```
More about URI Pattern is documented here for
[oracle](https://godror.github.io/godror/doc/connection.html#-connection-strings) and
[postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING).
## Installation
There are two ways to install `db-wait`. Directly via `go` or via `make` in combination with `git` and `go`. The
advantage of the second option is that the binary is installed with all the additional files that the developer
specifies.
```bash
# go
$ go install git.cryptic.systems/volker.raschek/db-wait
# git, make, go
$ git clone https://git.cryptic.systems/volker.raschek/db-wait.git && \
cd db-wait && \
make install PREFIX=/usr
```
## Usage as container image
Alternatively can be `db-wait` used as container image. A local installation is not necessary.
```bash
# postgres
$ docker run --rm --network host git.cryptic.systems/volker.raschek/db-wait:latest \
postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable
# oracle
$ docker run --rm --network host git.cryptic.systems/volker.raschek/db-wait:latest \
oracle://user:password@localhost:1521/xe
```
