	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
66
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
67
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
68
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
69
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
70
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	make inputs/download live=1
97 8458 aaronmk
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
98
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
99
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
100
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
101
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
102
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
103
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
104 9970 aaronmk
	Make sure there is at least 300GB of disk space on /: df -h
105 10603 aaronmk
		The import schema is 230GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
106 8458 aaronmk
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
107
			List backups/ to view older backups
108
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
109
			Remove these backups

Datasource setup:
253 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
254 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
255
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
256
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
257
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
258
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
259
		For .sql exports:
260
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
261
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
262
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
263
			On vegbiendev:
264
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
265 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
266
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
267
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
268 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
269
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
270
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
271
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
272
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
273
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
274
	For MS Access databases:
275
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
276
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
277
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
278
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
279
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
280
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
281
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
282
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
283
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
284
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
285
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
286
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
287
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
288
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
289
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
290
			name must end in ".src"
291
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
292
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
293
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
294
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
295
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
296
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
297
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
298
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
299
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
300
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
301
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
302
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
303 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
304
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
305
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
306 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
307
			that depend on it
308
	Install the staging tables:
309
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
310
		For a MySQL .sql export:
311
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
312
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
313
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
314
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
315
			tail provides a header line with the filename
316
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
317
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
318
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
319
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
320
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
321
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
322
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
323
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
324
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
325
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
326
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
327
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
328
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
329
				Save
330
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
331
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
332
	Map each table's columns:
333
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
334
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
335
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
336
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
337
				left column of the core map
338
			Save
339
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
340
	Accept the test cases:
341
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test
342
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
343
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
344
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
345
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
346
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
347
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
348

	Refactoring tips:
428
		To rename a table:
429
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
430
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
431
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
432
				Search for <new>
433
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
434
		To rename a column:
435
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
436
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
437
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
438
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
439
		Determine the poster size:
440
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
441
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
442
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
443
			Zoom in as far as possible
444
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
445
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
446
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
447
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
448
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
449
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
450
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
451
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
452
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
453
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
454
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
455
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
456
		Determine the cost:
457
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
458
				charges the following for posters:
459
				base: $7.25/sq ft
460
				lamination: $3/sq ft
461
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
464 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
465 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
466 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
467
	Mapping process: make test
468
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
469
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
470
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
471
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
472
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
473
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
474
			the appropriate null value to use.

			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
487
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
488
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
489
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
490
				redirects are permanent.
