# Synapse Database Schemas
|
||||
|
||||
These schemas need to be made from a database that has had all background updates run.
|
||||
These schemas are used as a basis to create brand new Synapse databases, on both
|
||||
SQLite3 and Postgres.
|
||||
|
||||
To do so, use `scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh`. This will produce
|
||||
`full.sql.postgres ` and `full.sql.sqlite` files.
|
||||
## Building full schema dumps
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to recreate these schemas, they need to be made from a database that
|
||||
has had all background updates run.
|
||||
|
||||
To do so, use `scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh`. This will produce new
|
||||
`full.sql.postgres ` and `full.sql.sqlite` files.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure postgres is installed and your user has the ability to run bash commands
|
||||
such as `createdb`.
|
||||
such as `createdb`, then call
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
./scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh -p postgres_username -o output_dir/
|
||||
```
|
||||
./scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh -p postgres_username -o output_dir/
|
||||
|
||||
There are currently two folders with full-schema snapshots. `16` is a snapshot
|
||||
from 2015, for historical reference. The other contains the most recent full
|
||||
schema snapshot.
