Example of how to use -var argument

[bencodeorg]

Hello sql-runner! This may be a bit of a basic question, but I can find no documentation of the appropriate syntax to use when referncing an argument passed in via -var (I don't really know anything about Go, this question is probably not relevant for those who do).

I see some discussion of supporting multiple arguments (#120), but can't seem to find an example of how to simply pass in a single value? Specifically, I'd like to be able to pass a password and reference it in my playbook.

Also, thank you for this tool! We're hoping to using it at Code.org to manage some of our analytics processes.

You can specify it as -var key=value, it should be specified when you run ./sql-runner -help: https://github.com/snowplow/sql-runner/wiki/Guide-for-devops

As of the latest release it's only possible to pass one. However, if you're building from develop you can pass multiple variables.

Next time, please, ask for support on our forum so that everyone can benefit from your question.
