cds deploy Terminal command doesn't work.

Dear Thomas,

I was going through CAP exercise -04 and was trying to deploy file data to SQLite DB but using command cds deploy I get error. In video I can see it works but not now. It could be due to some recent changes. Please let me know how to deploy file data to DB?

user: bookshop $ cds deploy [ERROR] Please specify a database kind or url, e.g.:

cds deploy --to sql
cds deploy --to sqlite
cds deploy --to sqlite:db/my.db

Hi @gsharan007,

could you please try cds deploy --to sqlite:bookshop.db?

Hi @maxstreifeneder ,

Thank you for quick reply, It worked !

Just wanted to know.. is there any way to deploy or move data from file to DB without using cds deploy? please advise.

Thanks Gaurav

@gsharan007 if you are deploying to HANA you can of course call the HDI Deployer directly without using cds deploy as well. That's really what the cds deploy is calling internally anyway.
