Loading a MySQL DB

./bin/retrosched-dbloader -dbtype mysql -dbname retrosheet -dbuser myusername -dbpass mypassword -inputdir ~/my-retrosheet-schedules

This will load the data into your retrosheet database stored on the db server that lives on localhost since a -dbhost value wasn't provided. Since the -dbport option was not provided the connection will attempt to use the default Postgres port 5432.

Loading a Postgres DB

./bin/retrosched-dbloader -dbtype postgres -dbname retrosheet -dbuser myusername -dbpass mypassword -inputdir ~/my-retrosheet-schedules

This will load the data into your retrosheet database stored on the db server that lives on localhost since a -dbhost value wasn't provided. Since the -dbport option was not provided the connection will attempt to use the default Postgres port 5432.

Loading a SQLite DB

./bin/retrosched-dbloader -dbtype sqlite -dbpath=./retrosheet.sqlite3 -inputdir ~/my-retrosheet-schedules

Since this is a SQLite database there are only two required parameters, -dbtype and -dbpath. The loader will create the SQLite database using the value of -dbpath.
