             Summary: [RFE] Add tooling to manage openshift databases
                 Key: JBDS-3130
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3130
             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Enhancement
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: openshift
    Affects Versions: 7.1.1.GA
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Tim Williams
            Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen
            Priority: Minor


In OpenShift, a scaled application will have numerous 'gears', each running a copy of the customer's code. If the customer is running a database, there will be only one gear containing this database. 

To export/import/backup/restore the database, a user must ssh to the specific gear that holds the database cartridge. The only current way to do this in JBDS is to print all the environment variables and look for the following:

$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_GEAR_UUID
$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_GEAR_DNS

You can then use these values in a terminal to ssh to the database gear:

 $ ssh $OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_GEAR_UUID@$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_GEAR_DNS

It would be helpful to have some kind of tooling to either ssh into this gear directly through JBDS, or at least print the ssh command (above) using the environment variables from the gear.
