34
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
35
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
36
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:

119
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
120
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
121
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
122
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
123
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
124
				now in the copied tab instead
125

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

		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
139 9995 aaronmk
		make scrub &
140 8458 aaronmk

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

333
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
334
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
335
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
336
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
337
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
338

	Refactoring tips:
426
		To rename a table:
427
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
428
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
429
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
430
				Search for <new>
431
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
432
		To rename a column:
433
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
434
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
435
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
436
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
437
		Determine the poster size:
438
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
439
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
440
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
441
			Zoom in as far as possible
442
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
443
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
444
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
445
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
446
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
447
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
448
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
449
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
450
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
451
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
452
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
453
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
454
		Determine the cost:
455
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
456
				charges the following for posters:
457
				base: $7.25/sq ft
458
				lamination: $3/sq ft
459
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
462 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
463 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
464 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
465
	Mapping process: make test
466
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
467
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
468
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
469
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
470
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
471
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
472
			the appropriate null value to use.

	"Binary chop" debugging:
479
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
480
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
481
		svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml

	.htaccess:
483
		mod_rewrite:
484 8471 aaronmk
			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
485
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
486
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
487
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
488
				redirects are permanent.
