The command "cradle sql populate" is used to populate a database with data using the Cradle framework.
Cradle is a database migration and testing toolset that allows developers to easily manage database changes and test databases. The "sql populate" command specifically refers to populating a database with data.
When this command is executed, Cradle will run SQL scripts containing data inserts, updates, or modifications to populate the tables of the database with the specified data. This is typically done to set up a test environment or to initialize a database with initial data.
By using the "cradle sql populate" command, developers can automate the process of populating a database with pre-defined data, making it easy to create consistent and reproducible test environments or quickly set up a new database.
