Hello, I'm taking a look at validating the arguments for qserv-admin.py, and in particular, I've noticed that it ignores the "schemaFile" parameter, which means that it doesn't bother loading the schema file, which means that all the example *.params files that we have that say "schemaFile: ....../something.sql" are including that line as a placeholder. I think this is the reason why dataLoader.py stuffs the "schema" option manually when invoking qservAdmin, rather than passing a schema file. Is this correct? I think this means that I need to add logic for loading the schema file in qserv-admin.py . DM-370 was supposed to improve handling of default values for parameters, but in order to do that, it seems to need a solid base of validating parameters in order to do the right thing for defaulting. So, the scope is bigger than I thought. I will try to complete it in Dec, but not positive anymore. -Daniel ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the QSERV-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=QSERV-L&A=1
