[question] How can i specify the database to take a snapshot of?

[shoad]

Hi! An awesome lib! But i have a question.

I can see the tracked_databases: [mydbname] line in the stellar.yaml file but can't figure out how to use this setting while taking a snapshot. I can modify the [mydbname] into [db_to_snapshot2] and i assume Stellar would look at the db_to_snapshot2 during the next snapshotting, but is there a way to specify db name while executing commands in shell? Something like stellar snapshot db_to_snapshot2 snapshotname

There's no general way to do that as Stellar is really designed for managing databases around projects. As a workaround you could create folders such as

project1/stellar.yaml
project2/stellar.yaml
project3/stellar.yaml

and then cd to the project and use Stellar from there.

Ok, got it. Thanks!
