Reassign database threads to Thorsten's user

Unlisted
hooks.server.ts#L33
Run `psql` and rewire all the `threads` in the databaser to my user (email starts with thorsten)

The user wants to run a PostgreSQL command to update all threads in the database to belong to their user, whose email starts with "thorsten". Let's break down what I need to do:

  1. Run the psql command to connect to the database
  2. Find out the user ID for the user whose email starts with "thorsten"
  3. Update all threads in the database to belong to this user

First, I need to understand how the database is structured and how to connect to it. Let me see if I can find information about the database connection settings by looking at the server code or configuration files.

The user has the file server/src/hooks.server.ts open, which might contain database connection information. Let me check that file first.

Then I'll need to figure out the database schema to understand how threads are linked to users in the database.

I need to check the database connection details first, then update the thread ownership.

Let me update the threads using the correct column name and user ID:

psql -c "UPDATE threads SET user_id = 'user_01JP018GDR88F545798GP7MST8' WHERE true;"
Null display is "[NULL]".

All 270 threads have been reassigned to thorsten@sourcegraph.com.
