sqlx/sqlx-cli/README.md
Tyler Hallada 672f724aac Bump version in sqlx-cli README to 0.2.0
I was getting an error while running `cargo sqlx prepare` while on `sqlx` version 0.4.1:

```
error: EOF while parsing an object at line 34 column 6
```

Then I realized that I had version 0.1.0-beta.1 of sqlx-cli but 0.2.0 was released on cargo.

I upgraded to 0.2.0 and the command succeeded.

I figured that the README was mistakenly not updated with the release.

# SQLx CLI
SQLx's associated command-line utility for managing databases, migrations, and enabling "offline"
mode with `sqlx::query!()` and friends.
### Install
#### With Rust toolchain
```bash
# supports all databases supported by SQLx
$ cargo install --version=0.2.0 sqlx-cli
# only for postgres
$ cargo install --version=0.2.0 sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres
```
### Usage
All commands require that a database url is provided. This can be done either with the `--database-url` command line option or by setting `DATABASE_URL`, either in the environment or in a `.env` file
in the current working directory.
`database` and `migrate` subcommands support only Postgres; MySQL and SQLite are TODO.
For more details, run `sqlx <command> --help`.
```dotenv
# Postgres
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost/my_database
```
#### Create/drop the database at `DATABASE_URL`
```bash
sqlx database create
sqlx database drop
```
#### Create and run migrations
```bash
$ sqlx migrate add <name>
```
Creates a new file in `migrations/<timestamp>-<name>.sql`. Add your database schema changes to
this new file.
---
```bash
$ sqlx migrate run
```
Compares the migration history of the running database against the `migrations/` folder and runs
any scripts that are still pending.
#### Enable building in "offline" mode with `query!()`
Note: must be run as `cargo sqlx`.
```bash
cargo sqlx prepare
```
Saves query data to `sqlx-data.json` in the current directory; check this file into version control
and an active database connection will no longer be needed to build your project.
Has no effect unless the `offline` feature of `sqlx` is enabled in your project. Omitting that feature is the most likely cause if you get a `sqlx-data.json` file that looks like this:
```json
{
"database": "PostgreSQL"
}
```
----
```bash
cargo sqlx prepare --check
```
Exits with a nonzero exit status if the data in `sqlx-data.json` is out of date with the current
database schema and queries in the project. Intended for use in Continuous Integration.
#### Force building in offline mode
To make sure an accidentally-present `DATABASE_URL` environment variable or `.env` file does not
result in `cargo build` (trying to) access the database, you can set the `SQLX_OFFLINE` environment
variable to `true`.
