union: Documented that it's multi-safe (supports an input appearing multiple times)
mappings/DwC2-VegBIEN.specimens.csv: Moved shared /specimenreplicate root to mappings in preparation for reversing the XPaths so that parent table paths (such as location) don't contain a prefix for child tables (specimenreplicate, locationevent, etc.). This reversing will avoid the need to "ch_root" the child table map to obtain maps for parent tables with the prefixes removed, allowing all hierarchical levels to use the same map spreadsheet.
ch_root: Support column headers without a root, for non-hierarchical formats such as DwC
lib/common.Makefile: rsync: Time the rsync operation
in_place: Wrap EXIT handler in shell function so that "-escaping can easily be used on the temp file path
in_place: Documented that doesn't update file on error
DwC mappings: Removed ':/list/' root (full version: '::[@xmlns:dcterms=http://purl.org/dc/terms/]/list/') from map spreadsheets to simplify the boilerplate in each file. Since intermediate DwC XML files no longer need to be produced for automated tests, these roots are not needed.
inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated with stats from latest import
inputs/import.stats.xls: Moved independent-import data to separate tab so that it wouldn't get moved to the side whenever a new column of simultaneous-import data is inserted. It is also no longer updated, because all column-based imports are now done simultaneously.
Use strings.ustr() or strings.urepr() everywhere that columns are stringified, in order to support column names with non-ASCII characters (such as in the Madidi data)
strings.py: concat(): Convert args to raw (non-Unicode) strings first, so that multi-byte Unicode sequences are considered by # of bytes instead of # of chars. This is necessary because PostgreSQL truncates identifiers by # of bytes instead of # of chars, so that identifiers will actually be less than 63 chars long when some chars were multi-byte.
strings.py: ustr(): Call str() method manually like urepr() to avoid Unicode errors when the returning string is non-ASCII
strings.py: Added urepr() and use it in repr_no_u(), to better support repr() return values with non-ASCII characters. Avoiding repr() also provides a more complete stack trace in the case of such errors.
schemas/vegbien.sql: plantobservation: plantobservation_aggregateoccurrence_count_1() trigger: Don't raise an error if existing count was >1, because there are in fact datasets (notably SALVIAS) where input records for individual stems may themselves contain aggregate data (such as plant and stem counts). For this data, we have an anomalous condition where an aggregateoccurrence has count >1 but contains one plantobservation, due to the plant/stem count being included in the first stem's record. (See <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/SALVIAS_issues#Data-interpretation-issues> for more info on this problem.) Note that our desired 1:1 relationship between aggregateoccurrence and plantobservation is still guaranteed by a constraint, but the anomalous data may still cause irregularities later on in the analysis.
sql_io.py: put_table(): Ignoring all rows on unrecoverable errors: Also support the case where has_joins == True, by setting it to False so that the no-joins case is effectively used
inputs/import.stats.xls: Moved Simultaneously above Independently because that is how we are now running the imports
Regenerated vegbien.ERD exports
schemas/vegbien.sql: 1_to_1 and *_unique_within unique indexes with a `WHERE sourceaccessioncode IS NULL` filter: Added IS NULL filters for other unique keys, so that these fallback indexes would only be used if there was no (or no other) way to uniquely identify their tables. For *_1_to_1 unique indexes, this is the case for specimens data.
schemas/vegbien.sql: stemobservation: Replaced stemobservation_unique_code unique constraint with stemobservation_unique_within_plantobservation unique index that uses COALESCE and WHERE ... IS NOT NULL appropriately, to work with sql_gen's use of COALESCE indexes and (for the renaming) to better reflect what it does
schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: Synced with schema
schemas/vegbien.sql: 1_to_1 and *_unique_within unique indexes intended to operate only when sourceaccessioncode is NULL: Changed to use `sourceaccessioncode IS NULL` WHERE condition instead of COALESCE element, since the sourceaccessioncode is not actually needed for the uniquification (it is already globally unique within the datasource if it's not NULL; this just covers the case where it is NULL)
schemas/vegbien.sql: unique_within unique indexes used for 1:1 relationships: Renamed to __1_to_1 to better reflect what they do
schemas/vegbien.sql: plantobservation: Corrected plantobservation_aggregateoccurrence_id_1_to_1's name to plantobservation_aggregateoccurrence_1_to_1 because it's 1:1 with aggregateoccurrence, not aggregateoccurrence_id. Made it a unique index for consistency with our general method of expressing unique constraints on potentially nullable columns.
schemas/vegbien.sql: specimenreplicate: Renamed specimenreplicate_unique_plantobservation to specimenreplicate_plantobservation_1_to_1 to better reflect what it does
schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent unique indexes: Renamed to unique_within to better reflect what they do
schemas/vegbien.sql: location: Removed redundant location_unique_sourceaccessioncode unique constraint, which has been replaced by location_unique_within_datasource
schemas/vegbien.sql: Reset foreign key constraint names to autogenerated defaults for consistency
schemas/vegbien.sql: Renamed *_unique_datasource unique indexes to *_unique_within_datasource to better reflect what they do
schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent: Renamed locationevent_unique_accessioncode to locationevent_unique_within_location to better reflect what it does
schemas/vegbien.sql: specimenreplicate: Renamed specimenreplicate_unique_accessioncode to specimenreplicate_unique_within_datasource to better reflect what it does
schemas/vegbien.sql: stemobservation: Renamed stemobservation_unique_accessioncode to stemobservation_unique_within_plantobservation and also apply it to NULL sourceaccessioncodes, so that a plantobservation can have a single stemobservation for its single stem's traits without needing a separate sourceaccessioncode for it
schemas/vegbien.sql: aggregateoccurrence: Removed redundant aggregateoccurrence_unique_accessioncode unique constraint, which has been replaced by aggregateoccurrence_unique_within_taxonoccurrence
schemas/vegbien.sql: plantnamescope: Added CHECK constraint to ensure that at least one key column is specified (an empty plantnamescope doesn't make sense; use NULL instead)
ch_root: Don't require both the input and output mappings to contain their respective new roots, since sometimes only one or the other root is being subset. This will occur, for example, in mappings that are flat on the input but normalized on the output, such as VegCSV.
VegBIEN: Reversed aggregateoccurrence<->plantobservation relationship to point from plantobservation->aggregateoccurrence, so plantobservation could be scoped by aggregateoccurrence in the same way as all other core tables are scoped by their parent tables. This reversed direction was an anomaly due to the need to have a trigger auto-set aggregateoccurrence.count to 1 when there was an associated plantobservation. This was most easily accomplished on the aggregateoccurrence table itself, but required the reversed relationship. The trigger has now been reimplemented on plantobservation, which externally updates aggregateoccurrence.count.
input.Makefile: Testing: diffing test outputs: Ignore changes in whitespace, due to e.g. different indent levels. This facilitates accepting tests when an element has been nested inside another element (or unnested), by showing only the opening and closing tags of the new outer element.
dicts.py: DictProxy: Fixed bug where default value for inner param needed to be created in the constructor, or else every default instance would use and modify the same dictionary
db_xml.py: put(): wrap_e(): Call augment_error() to add the current node to the error message
db_xml.py: put(): Raise an error if there are multiple fields with the same name, instead of silently overwriting the first with the second. This generally indicates the need to use `:[@merge=1]` on the fields in question.
dicts.py: Added OnceOnlyDict and helper exception KeyExistsError
dicts.py: DictProxy: Added default value for inner param to facilitate creating empty wrapped dicts
bin/map: out_is_db: row-based mode: Debug-log the processed XML tree produced by xml_func.process()
sql_io.py: put_table(): Fixed bug where Missing mapping for NOT NULL column errors should actually be warnings because sometimes the mappings include extra tables which aren't used by the dataset
schemas/vegbien.sql: aggregateoccurrence: Added UNIQUE INDEX that makes an aggregateoccurrence unique within a taxonoccurrence. When the sourceaccessioncode isn't specified (as for individual organisms data, where this goes in plantobservation and taxonoccurrence), this ensures a 1:1 relationship between aggregateoccurrence and taxonoccurrence.
schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonoccurrence: Added UNIQUE INDEX that makes a taxonoccurrence unique within a locationevent. When the sourceaccessioncode isn't specified (as for specimens data), this ensures a 1:1 relationship between taxonoccurrence and locationevent.
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: binomial (full) plantname: Also mapped to an alternative for taxonoccurrence.sourceaccessioncode, for aggregate plots data that distinguishes taxonoccurrences only by plantname (such as CVS)
exc.py: e_msg(): Fixed bug where exceptions with nothing in e.args (such as StopIteration) caused a failed assertion. Fixed bug where exceptions with multiple values in e.args (such as certain IOErrors) caused a failed assertion.
sql.py: flatten(): Documented that shouldn't cache query because the temp table will usually be truncated after use
sql_gen.py: merge_not_null(): For clarity, use to_text() to represent NULL as the string 'NULL' instead of as the null sentinel for the column's type
sql_gen.py: Added to_text() and helper value null_as_str
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: plantobservation: sourceaccessioncode, authorplantcode: Removed no longer needed mapping to specimenreplicate.sourceaccessioncode, since specimenreplicate for plots data is now identified by its plantobservation fkey, without needing its own sourceaccessioncode
sql_io.py: put_table(): ignore_cond(): Fixed bug where if is_literals, need to return NULL, instead of trying to filter invalid rows out of a nonexistant input table
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: Replaced "/}" (with unnecessary "/") with "}"
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: Replaced doubled "/"s with single "/"
backups/Makefile: Added synchronization of backups with vegbiendev. Added downloading backups to After a new import steps.
lib/common.Makefile: rsync: $(remote): Fixed bug where the inputs/ dir was hardcoded, when the remote dir name needed to be determined dynamically based on the Makefile dir
backups/Makefile: Refactored to include lib/common.Makefile
inputs/Makefile: Added download-logs to download import logs onto local machine and added it to the "After a new import" steps
Moved generally useful targets and vars from inputs/Makefile to lib/common.Makefile and lib/forwarding.Makefile
bin/map: Don't create unneeded /_ignore/inLabel element containing the datasource name because sql_io.put_table() now autopopulates the datasource_id
schemas/functions.sql, py_functions.sql: Removed no longer needed relational functions, since sql_io.put_table() supports regular SQL functions
inputs/Madidi/maps/VegX.plots.csv: Mapped all mappable columns
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: elevation, elevationrange: Added _rangeStart/_rangeEnd filter
sql_io.py: Wrapping mapping in a sql_gen.ColDict: Documented that sql_gen.ColDict sanitizes both keys and values passed into it
sql_gen.py: ColDict: Documented that anything that isn't a column is wrapped in a NamedCol
README.TXT: Datasource setup: Accepting the test cases: Added instructions for what to do if you get errors
bin/map: Fixed bug where needed to use sql.function_exists() to determine if something is a relational (now SQL) function, including in row-based mode, since that now uses sql_io.put_table(), which requires this. The bug fix relies on the new xml_func.process() feature that preserves unknown relational functions in case they are built-in functions rather than SQL functions.
xml_func.py: process(): In row-based mode, when trying to evaluate function using DB, preserve unknown funcs because these might be built-in functions of db_xml.put(). The sql.DoesNotExistException should be raised again when db_xml.put() is run and it verifies whether the function is built-in or not (e.g. _simplifyPath is now built-in, for column-based support). See db_xml.put_special_funcs for built-in functions.
db_xml.py: put(): Fixed bug where strings starting with "$" were interpreted as input columns in row-based mode (this should only apply to column-based mode). Explicitly store whether in row-based mode in is_literals var (similar to is_literals in sql_io.put_table()).
sql_io.py: put_table(): unrecoverable errors: Returning default value: is_literals: Remove column rename from default value so it doesn't get treated as a column by db_xml.put() (which is handled differently from a literal value)
db_xml.py: put(): put_(): Removed no longer needed in_row_ct_ref param, which is only used by put_table(). Rewrapped function body.
sql_io.py: put_table(): ignore(): literals: Only replace invalid literal with NULL or remove row if that column actually contains the invalid value in question. This handles the case where all columns are being ignore()d because the specific column couldn't be identified, and this was not the invalid column.
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: plot: Mapped note
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: plot: Added landform mapping
schemas/vegbank.ERD.pdf: Auto-repaired with Adobe Reader so that the repair message doesn't pop up whenever it's opened
schemas: Added vegbank.ERD.pdf so the VegBank ERD is easily accessible when mapping
mappings/VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: project: Mapped sourceaccessioncode. This entailed adding a distinguishing suffix to the projectname input mapping.
mappings/DwC2-VegBIEN.specimens.csv, VegX-VegBIEN.stems.csv: Removed all manual mappings to datasource_id now that datasource_id is auto-populated, both on the VegBIEN output side and the DwC/VegX input side. This should greatly simplify many of the mappings!
db_xml.py: put(): Don't suppress exceptions thrown by sql_io.put_table() by passing them to on_error(), because some exceptions indicate unrecoverable database connection problems such as a broken connection, which should abort the import
db_xml.py: put(): Support datasets with no rows, where root.firstChild == None. Documented that to use an entire XML document, you need to pass root.firstChild rather than root.
inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated with stats from latest import. Note that the import now includes CVS.
README.TXT: Documented that the PostgreSQL server should be restarted after installing system updates that may affect it, to avoid spurious errors that crash the import but go away upon reimport
schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: Fixed lines
bin/map: Call sys.stdout.flush() after every call to sys.stdout.write() to avoid interleaved stdout/stderr output due to stdout buffering
schemas/vegbien.sql: *_unique_datasource UNIQUE INDEXes: Removed COALESCE from datasource_id and datasource_id IS NOT NULL filter, because datasource_id is now always NOT NULL
schemas/filter_ERD.csv: Removed AUTO_INCREMENT because that is not added to any other tables
Regenerated schemas/vegbien.my.sql
schemas/vegbien.sql: specimenreplicate: Inherit datasource_id from taxonoccurrence instead of defining it independently
xml_func.py: Removed no longer needed local XML functions that have been translated to SQL functions
input.Makefile: Testing: Removed VegBIEN.%.xml test because the import.%.xml test output includes the template tree that it's inserting, so there is no need to generate the XML tree in a separate test. This will also remove the need to maintain local XML functions that have already been translated to DB functions for the sole purpose of this automated test.
schemas/vegbien.sql: Made datasource_id required on every table that has it, to trigger the automatic population of it by sql_io.put_table()'s col_defaults
Moved importing of col_defaults from db_xml.put_table() to bin/map, so that it also happens in row-based mode. Note that this causes a DB entry for the datasource to always be created, even if the datasource has no mappings or no rows.
Use new exc.reraise() where exc.raise_() was used, so that the stack trace is preserved when the exception is rethrown
