--- The following commands tweak a koji db snapshot for use with a new datacentre
--- In addition to this script, the following actions may also need to be taken (generally afterward)
--- * apply any needed schema upgrades
--- * reset the koji fs volume
---
--- Example commands for db reset:
--- % su - postgres
--- % dropdb koji
--- % createdb -O koji koji
--- % pg_restore -c -d koji koji.dmp
--- % psql koji koji < koji-stage-reset.sql
---
--- Alternate example for shorter downtime:
--- % su - postgres
--- restore to a different db first
--- % createdb -O koji koji-new
--- % pg_restore -c -d koji-new koji.dmp
--- % psql koji-new koji < koji-stage-reset.sql
--- [apply db updates if needed]
--- [set kojihub ServerOffline setting]
--- => alter database koji rename to koji_save_YYYYMMDD;
--- => alter database koji-new rename to koji;
--- [reset koji-test fs]
--- [unset kojihub ServerOffline setting]
