More examples on databases / services

[cdrage]

We should have some documentation on:

Tasks:

• How to import an external mysql database and deploy it (for example, importing a foobar.sql file). Converting from a convential database to OpenShift-esque scenario
• More documentation on how to actually use services in comparison to the components.

Notes for myself, perhaps including this link: https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.2/dev_guide/migrating_applications/database_applications.html in the documentation will help

[cdrage]

This is a good example: #1059

Notes for myself, using this: https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex with the example at the bottom with regards to connecting to a database is a good start.

Working with odo service command is not really straightforward, IMO.

• It's not really clear as to wht's the difference between odo catalog and odo service command. They both seem to deal with the service catalog. Help messages are also ambiguous:

  $ odo service -h
  Perform service catalog operations
  ....
  ....
  
  $ odo catalog -h
  Catalog related operations
  ....
  ....
  

• More examples in docs/cli-reference.adoc or a separate doc for advanced use cases of services would be very helpful.

After talking with @veillard we should have some documentation with regards to service integration in preparation for 1.0 GA.

This can actually be closed as I added documentation to the website:

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.2/cli_reference/openshift_developer_cli/creating-an-application-with-a-database.html

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.2/cli_reference/openshift_developer_cli/creating-an-application-with-a-database.html

Is the CSS on that page broken only for me or is it a more widespread issue? I checked in a Private window and still see just HTML there.

@dharmit it's broken for you. Maybe your addon or something?
