Administering an instance​

Create a database:

create database my_new_project;

OK: CREATE DATABASE

Create a role:

create superuser role project;

OK: CREATE ROLE

Configure passwordless access (such as to a local development database):

configure instance insert Auth {
    # Human-oriented comment helps figuring out
    # what authentication methods have been setup
    # and makes it easier to identify them.
    comment := 'passwordless access',
    priority := 1,
    method := (insert Trust),
};

OK: CONFIGURE INSTANCE

Set a password for a role:

alter role project
    set password := 'super-password';

OK: ALTER ROLE

Configure access that checks password (with a higher priority):

configure instance insert Auth {
    comment := 'password is required',
    priority := 0,
    method := (insert SCRAM),
};

OK: CONFIGURE INSTANCE

Remove a specific authentication method:

configure instance reset Auth
filter .comment = 'password is required';

OK: CONFIGURE INSTANCE

Run a script from command line:

cat myscript.edgeql | edgedb [connection-option...]
