	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
35
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
36
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
37
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:

39
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
40
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'

120
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
121
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
122
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
123
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
124
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
125
				now in the copied tab instead
126

		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
129
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
130
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
131
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
132
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
133
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
134
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
135
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql

		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
140 9995 aaronmk
		make scrub &
141 8458 aaronmk
		To view progress:
142
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql

148 8458 aaronmk
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
149 10578 aaronmk
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
150 10743 aaronmk
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
151 10577 aaronmk
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
152 10578 aaronmk
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
153
			$version with the appropriate revision
154 10744 aaronmk
		make backups/upload live=1
155 3381 aaronmk
156 1773 aaronmk
Datasource setup:
157 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
158 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
159
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
160
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
161
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
162
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
163
		For .sql exports:
164
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
165
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
166
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
167
			On vegbiendev:
168
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
169 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
170
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
171
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
172 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
173
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
174
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
175
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
176
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
177
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
178
	For MS Access databases:
179
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
180
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
181
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
182
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
183
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
184
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
185
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
186
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
187
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
188
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
189
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
190
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
191
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
192
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
193
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
194
			name must end in ".src"
195
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
196
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
197
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
198
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
199
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
200
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
201
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
202
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
203
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
204
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
205
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
206
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
207 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
208
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
209
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
210 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
211
			that depend on it
212
	Install the staging tables:
213
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
214
		For a MySQL .sql export:
215
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
216
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
217
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
218
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
219
			tail provides a header line with the filename
220
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
221
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
222
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
223
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
224
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
225
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
226
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
227
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
228
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
229
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
230
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
231
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
232
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
233
				Save
234
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
235
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
236
	Map each table's columns:
237
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
238
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
239
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
240
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
241
				left column of the core map
242
			Save
243
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
244
	Accept the test cases:
245
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test
246
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
247
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
248
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
249
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
250
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
251
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
252
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
253
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
254
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
255
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
256
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
257
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
258
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
259
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
260
	Update vegbiendev:
261
		On jupiter: svn up
262
		On local machine:
263
			./fix_perms
264
			make inputs/upload
265 10025 aaronmk

334
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
335
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
336
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
337
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
338
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
339
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	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.
