- Initializes a new lease database. Useful during first Kea installation. The database is initialized to the latest version supported by the version of the software.
lease-version

lease-upgrade
- Conducts lease database upgrade. This is useful when migrating between old and new Kea versions.
lease-dump
- Dumps the contents of the lease database (MySQL and PostgreSQL backends) to text file. The content of the file consists of comma-separated-values (CSV) where each line in the file contains all of the values for a single lease. The first line of file is a header line containing the column names.
