Database

This document explains what is our database, how you can access it remotely, and how you can obtain a dump of it.

Database

Our database contains all the information the official databases contains. Additionally, our database is bound to a database ORM and web framework - Django - that facilitates its usage.

Either by using Django or not, you have full remote access (read only) to it.

Remote connection

You can access our database using:

  • database: publics
  • username: publics_read_only
  • password: read-only
  • host: 185.20.49.8
  • port: 5432

Create dumps

In the terminal, run:

pg_dump -h 185.20.49.8 -p 5432 -U publics_read_only -d publics > dump.sql

This creates a file “dump.sql” (it can take a while) that you can load to a database in your own computer.
