schemas/util.sql: added inherit()

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: diff(): need to explicitly cast each side to the return type because this does not happen automatically even when an implicit cast is available

schemas/util.sql: renamed diff_views(), diff_any() to diff(...) because they are overloads of the same operation

schemas/util.sql: diff_any(): documented how to run EXPLAIN on the FULL JOIN query

schemas/util.sql: removed non-useful diff_queries() (it is not possible to match distinct `record` types to a common return type, so this would not have worked). use diff_views() instead.

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: diff_queries(), diff_views(): embed views verbatim as FROM items, so that the type of their corresponding columns is the view's rowtype. this is necessary in order to match the types of the columns to the return type (set by col_type_null).

schemas/util.sql: diff_cols(): renamed to diff_queries() because multiple columns are supported

fix: schemas/util.sql: diff_cols(): don't assume that each side will have one column, as many of our validations queries have multiple columns

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: diff_views(): need to use $2, not $1, for the 2nd query

fix: schemas/util.sql: materialize_query(): remove any extra blank line before the query, to improve readability when newlines are used as a log message separator and are therefore confusing in the middle of a log message

schemas/util.sql: added ltrim_nl()

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: setting search_path locally: also need to set function option search_path, in order to limit the effects of `SET LOCAL search_path` (mk_set_search_path()) to the current function (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-set.html#AEN75423)

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: setting search_path locally: need to use `SET LOCAL search_path TO` instead of `PERFORM set_config(search_path, ..., is_local := true)` because the meaning of is_local refers to the entire transaction, not just the current function (as for LOCAL)

schemas/util.sql: added mk_set_search_path(VARIADIC schemas text[])

schemas/util.sql: added mk_use_own_schema()

schemas/util.sql: added mk_set_search_path()

schemas/util.sql: use builtin string_agg(..., ) instead of concat()

schemas/util.sql: added qual_name(type unknown) to avoid needing to explicitly specify the type of an input string

schemas/util.sql: qual_name(table_ regclass): use ::text with search_path=pg_temp like qual_name(type regtype), rather than casting to text and then using qual_name(type regtype)

schemas/util.sql: type_qual_name(type regtype): renamed to qual_name(type regtype) to match qual_name(table_ regclass)

schemas/util.sql: added rematerialize_query()

schemas/vegbien.sql: added rematerialize_in_view()

schemas/vegbien.sql: rematerialize_out_view(): pass a schema-qualified name to util.rematerialize_view() to avoid depending on the search_path to create it in the right schema

schemas/vegbien.sql: materialize_query(): support schema-qualified tables. this requires escaping tables in calls to this function.

schemas/vegbien.sql: added rematerialize_out_view(in_view regclass)

schemas/util.sql: added qual_name()

schemas/vegbien.sql: added rematerialize_out_view(datasource_schema text, out_view regclass)

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: source_by_shortname(): added schema_anchor so that it always applies to the schema it's defined in, even if `public` is not in the search_path

schemas/vegbien.sql: functions with schema_anchors: documented that they must use LANGUAGE plpgsql because LANGUAGE sql does not support runtime changes of search_path (schema elements are bound at inline time rather than runtime)

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: functions with schema_anchors: must use plpgsql for these because the sql language does not support runtime changes of search_path (the schema elements they use are bound at inline time rather than runtime)

schemas/vegbien.sql: schema_null param: renamed to schema_anchor to clarify what this is for

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: schema_null: clarified that this should always be left as the default value, not just usually

schemas/vegbien.sql: schema_null params: use schema_anchor instead of source for this, since it is guaranteed to exist regardless of which tables are in the VegBIEN schema

schemas/vegbien.sql: public: added schema_anchor (used with schema_null params)

schemas/util.sql: use new util.debug_print_sql() instead of `RAISE NOTICE` to improve readability of the debug output (which is used throughout the runscripts)

schemas/util.sql: added debug_print_sql()

schemas/util.sql: added raise_notice(), to allow NOTICEs to be raised in sql-language functions

schemas/vegbien.sql: removed no longer used concat() aggregate. use builtin string_agg() instead.

schemas/util.sql: added rematerialize_view()

schemas/util.sql: schema(regtype), schema(regclass): use new schema(pg_namespace_oid oid)

schemas/util.sql: added schema(pg_namespace_oid oid)

schemas/util.sql: schema(regclass): use joins instead of nested SELECTs for consistency with schema(regtype)

schemas/util.sql: regenerated from DB, which reorders the functions

schemas/util.sql: table_name(): renamed to name(regclass) for consistency with other name(...) functions

schemas/util.sql: table_schema(): renamed to schema(regclass) for consistency with other schema(...) functions

schemas/util.sql: schema_ident(): renamed to schema_esc() for clarity

schemas/vegbien.sql: added schema_anchor, for use with schema_null params

schemas/util.sql: added mk_search_path()

schemas/*.sql: make sure every COMMENT starts and ends on its own line, so that it appears correctly in the formats it's most likely to be read in (ie. in the DDL export, not the COMMENT edit box in pgAdmin)

schemas/util.sql: added materialize_view()

schemas/util.sql: added table_name()

schemas/util.sql: table_schema(): removed unneeded STRICT, which prevents inlining

fix: schemas/util.sql: fix_array(): removed no longer accurate comment about effects of STRICT, which is no longer used

fix: schemas/util.sql: materialize_query(): 1st param should be named table_, not view_

schemas/util.sql: added drop_view()

schemas/util.sql: added materialize_query()

validation/aggregating/*/*.sql, schemas/vegbien.sql, lib/runscripts/validations.pg.sql.run, inputs/bien2_traits/validations.sql: added _ to beginning of each view name so the validation views would sort at the top in the datasource's tables list. this will also make the validation result sets easily distinguishable from the data tables.

schemas/util.sql: ifnull(): use COALESCE instead, because it turns out that MySQL's IFNULL is just a special case of this

schemas/util.sql: added ifnull(), equivalent to MySQL's IFNULL (Postgres auto-lowercases the name)

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validations_*: merged into single public_validations schema, with type-specific prefixes for each query, so that datasources can use validations queries from multiple type categories, and so that each datasource doesn't have to indicate which validations output schema it's using

schemas/util.sql: diff_cols(): documented how to run EXPLAIN on the FULL JOIN query

schemas/util.sql: diff_cols(): embed left_query/right_query directly in the main SQL statement, so that the query planner can take the sort order of the queries into account in planning the FULL JOIN (and where possible, use a fast merge join)

schemas/vegbien.sql: regenerated from DB, which adds an autogenerated column alias

schemas/vegbien.sql, validation/aggregating/*/*.sql: renamed public_validation_* to plural public_validations_* since we refer to them as aggregating validation*s*

schemas/util.sql: added eval2col_pair()

schemas/vegbien.sql, validation/aggregating/*/*.sql: renamed public_validation_* to plural public_validations_* since we refer to them as aggregating validation*s*

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validation_plots: added Brad's notes as comments

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validation_plots: populated queries from validation/aggregating/plots/bien3_validations_salvias_vegbien.sql

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validation_traits: added Brad's notes as comments

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validation_traits: populated queries from validation/aggregating/traits/bien3_validations_traits_bien3.sql

schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_stem.datasource: removed fkey to source.shortname because this prevents individually-reloaded datasources from being published

schemas/vegbien.sql: publish(), rm(): documented runtime (1 min)

schemas/vegbien.sql: added datasource_unpublish()

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validation: split into separate subschemas for plots, specimens, traits

schemas/Makefile: vegbien.sql: support auxiliary schemas besides *_validation

fix: schemas/Makefile: %/publish: removed no longer applicable instructions about running `make schemas/rotate`. you should not publish a schema until you are satisfied that it can replace the previous public schema, so that the previous public schema doesn't need to be saved.

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validation comment: undid incorrect replacement of "validation" with "public_validation"

bugfix: schemas/Makefile: "public": dont

schemas/Makefile: %/publish: don't ignore errors if schema doesn't exist, because it should always exist if you are publishing it

schemas/Makefile: `%/uninstall: vegbien.sql`: use util.schema_bundle_rm() instead of public.rm(), because when the public schema is incompletely imported, public.rm() will not yet exist

schemas/Makefile: `%/install: vegbien.sql`: support auxiliary schemas besides *_validation

schemas/Makefile: %/uninstall, %/publish: use new public.rm(), publish(), which encapsulate the process of renaming multiple related schemas and also allow additional auxiliary schemas beyond just *_validation

schemas/vegbien.sql: added rm(), which deletes this schema

schemas/vegbien.sql: added publish(), which publishes this schema

schemas/vegbien.sql: added public_schema_publish()

schemas/util.sql: added functions for maintaining schema bundles, groups of schemas with a common prefix

schemas/util.sql: added schema_bundle_get_schemas()

schemas/util.sql: added schema_replace()

schemas/util.sql: added schema_rm(), schema_rename()

schemas/vegbien.sql: datasource_publish(): removed nested transaction, which is not needed because Postgres runs each top-level command in a transaction (including in autocommit mode)

bugfix: schemas/Makefile,vegbien.sql: renamed validation to public_validation to match the suffixed name applied by `make schemas/public/install`

schemas/Makefile: %/install, %/publish for public schema: added usage

removed schemas/VegX/run.py, which is a duplicate of _archive/bienDjango/trunk/bien/v/models.py (this may have ended up here because it was a wiki page attachment, but the initial revision did not indicate the source)

schemas/VegCore/vegbien_identifier_examples.xlsx: changed to symlink to Brad_Boyle/vegbien_identifier_examples.xlsx, to avoid duplicate copies

schemas/Makefile: removed no longer used rename/%, rotate. use %/install, %/publish instead to manage public schema versions.

schemas/Makefile: removed no longer needed public/uninstall, which is handled more generally by `%/uninstall: vegbien.sql` instead

schemas/Makefile: `%/uninstall: vegbien.sql`: added support for *_validation schema

schemas/Makefile: %/uninstall: split into 2 rules like for %/install, so that different actions can easily be added for the public schema

schemas/Makefile: %/publish: support auxiliary *_validation schemas

bugfix: schemas/Makefile: `%/install: vegbien.sql`: need -e before each s/// expression
