	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
73
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
74
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
75
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
76
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
77
		Linux and Mac OS X.

Datasource setup:
252 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
253 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
254
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
255
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
256
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
257
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
258
		For .sql exports:
259
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
260
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
261
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
262
			On vegbiendev:
263
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
264 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
265
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
266
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
267 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
268
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
269
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
270
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
271
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
272
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
273
	For MS Access databases:
274
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
275
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
276
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
277
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
278
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
279
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
280
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
281
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
282
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
283
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
284
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
285
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
286
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
287
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
288
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
289
			name must end in ".src"
290
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
291
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
292
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
293
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
294
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
295
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
296
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
297
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
298
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
299
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
300
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
301
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
302 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
303
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
304
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
305 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
306
			that depend on it
307
	Install the staging tables:
308
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
309
		For a MySQL .sql export:
310
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
311
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
312
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
313
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
314
			tail provides a header line with the filename
315
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
316
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
317
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
318
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
319
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
320
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
321
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
322
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
323
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
324
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
325
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
326
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
327
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
328
				Save
329
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
330
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
331
	Map each table's columns:
332
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
333
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
334
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
335
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
336
				left column of the core map
337
			Save
338
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
339
	Accept the test cases:
340
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test
341
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
342
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
343
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
344

	Refactoring tips:
427
		To rename a table:
428
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
429
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
430
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
431
				Search for <new>
432
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
433
		To rename a column:
434
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
435
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
436
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
437
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
438
		Determine the poster size:
439
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
440
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
441
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
442
			Zoom in as far as possible
443
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
444
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
445
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
446
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
447
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
448
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
449
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
450
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
451
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
452
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
453
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
454
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
455
		Determine the cost:
456
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
457
				charges the following for posters:
458
				base: $7.25/sq ft
459
				lamination: $3/sq ft
460
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
463 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
464 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
465 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
466
	Mapping process: make test
467
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
468
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
469
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
470
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
471
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
472
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
473
			the appropriate null value to use.

			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
486
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
487
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
488
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
489
				redirects are permanent.
