Question

Using clojure and clojure-sql with postgresql.

I am trying to make a bootstrap function, so I want to drop all the tables in the db and then rebuild them cleanly. As there are an arbitrary number of tables it would be nice if I could just drop them all at once. However, this fails:

(def db
  {:classname "org.postgresql.Driver"
   :subprotocol "postgresql"
   :subname "//localhost/triface"
   :user "postgres"})

(defn rebuild-table []
  (sql/with-connection db
    (sql/do-commands "drop database triface" "create database triface")))

How do I issue a drop database command from a somehow modified connection?

Figured this one out from another question over here: How do I drop or create a database from clojure.java.jdbc? .
