# Database tools

Rather than try to provide the functionality of a RDBM tool like `psql`, the omero db script command helps to generate SQL scripts for building your database. You can then use those scripts from whatever tool is most comfortable for you:

    $ omero db script --password secretpassword

    Using OMERO5.4 for version
    Using 0 for patch
    Using password from commandline
    Saving to /home/omero/OMERO5.4__0.sql

If you do not specify the OMERO root password on the command line you will be prompted to enter it.
