	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
105
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
106
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
107
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:

	make backups/upload live=1
117 8458 aaronmk
	On jupiter:
118
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
119
		For each newly-archived backup:
120
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
121
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
122
	On nimoy:
123
		cd /home/bien/svn/
124
		svn up
125
		export version=<version>
126
		make backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv/download
127
		In the bien_web DB:
128
			Create the analytical_stem_<version> table using its schema
129
				in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
130
		make -s backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv.md5/test

		table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
133 8458 aaronmk
			backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
134
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
135
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
136
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
137
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
138
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
139
				now in the copied tab instead
140
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
141
		export version=<version>
142
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
143
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
144
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
145
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
146
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
147
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
148
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
149
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
150
		Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"

	Running individual steps separately:
152 9497 aaronmk
	To run TNRS:
153 9996 aaronmk
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
154 9995 aaronmk
		make scrub &
155 8458 aaronmk
		To view progress:

	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
163 10578 aaronmk
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
164 10743 aaronmk
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
165 10577 aaronmk
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &

Datasource setup:
171 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
172 11090 aaronmk
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
173 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
174 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
175
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
176
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
177
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
178 11018 aaronmk
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
179 11019 aaronmk
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
180 8458 aaronmk
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
181
		For .sql exports:
182
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
183
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
184
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
185
			On vegbiendev:
186
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
187 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
188
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
189
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
190 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
191
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
192
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
193
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
194
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
195
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
196
	For MS Access databases:
197
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
198
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
199
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
200
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
201
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
202
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
203
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
204
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
205
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
206
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
207
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
208
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
209
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
210
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
211
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
212
			name must end in ".src"
213
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
214
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
215
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
216
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
217
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
218
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
219
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
220
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
221
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
222
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
223
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
224
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
225 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
226
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
227
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
228 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
229
			that depend on it
230 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
231
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
232
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
233 8458 aaronmk
	Install the staging tables:
234
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
235
		For a MySQL .sql export:
236
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
237
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
238
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
239
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
240
			tail provides a header line with the filename
241
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
242
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
243
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
244
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
245
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
246
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
247
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
248
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
249
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
250
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
251
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
252
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
253
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
254
				Save
255
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
256
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
257
	Map each table's columns:
258
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
259
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
260
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
261
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
262
				left column of the core map
263
			Save
264
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
265
	Accept the test cases:
266 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
267
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
268
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
269
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
270
		For an old-style datasource:
271
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
272 8458 aaronmk
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
273
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
274
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
275
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
276
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
277
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
278
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
279
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
280
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
281
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
282
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
283
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
284
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
285
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
286
	Update vegbiendev:
287
		On jupiter: svn up
288
		On local machine:
289
			./fix_perms
290
			make inputs/upload
291 10025 aaronmk

297 1773 aaronmk

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
364
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
365
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
366
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
367
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
368
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
462
		To rename a table:
463
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
464
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
465
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
466
				Search for <new>
467
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
468
		To rename a column:
469
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
470
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
471
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
472
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
473
		Determine the poster size:
474
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
475
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
476
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
477
			Zoom in as far as possible
478
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
479
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
480
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
481
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
482
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
483
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
484
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
485
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
486
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
487
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
488
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
489
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
490
		Determine the cost:
491
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
492
				charges the following for posters:
493
				base: $7.25/sq ft
494
				lamination: $3/sq ft
495
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
498 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
499 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
500 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
501 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
502 8458 aaronmk
	Mapping process: make test
503
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
504
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
505
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
506
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
507
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
508
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
509
			the appropriate null value to use.
