Datasource setup:
161 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
162 11090 aaronmk
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
163 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
164 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
165
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
166
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
167
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
168 11018 aaronmk
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
169 11019 aaronmk
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
170 8458 aaronmk
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
171
		For .sql exports:
172
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
173
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
174
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
175
			On vegbiendev:
176
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
177 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
178
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
179
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
180 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
181
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
182
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
183
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
184
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
185
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
186
	For MS Access databases:
187
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
188
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
189
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
190
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
191
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
192
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
193
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
194
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
195
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
196
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
197
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
198
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
199
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
200
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
201
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
202
			name must end in ".src"
203
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
204
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
205
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
206
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
207
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
208
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
209
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
210
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
211
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
212
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
213
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
214
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
215 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
216
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
217
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
218 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
219
			that depend on it
220 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
221
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
222
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
223 8458 aaronmk
	Install the staging tables:
224
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
225
		For a MySQL .sql export:
226
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
227
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
228
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
229
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
230
			tail provides a header line with the filename
231
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
232
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
233
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
234
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
235
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
236
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
237
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
238
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
239
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
240
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
241
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
242
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
243
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
244
				Save
245
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
246
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
247
	Map each table's columns:
248
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
249
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
250
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
251
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
252
				left column of the core map
253
			Save
254
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
255
	Accept the test cases:
256 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
257
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
258
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
259
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
260
		For an old-style datasource:
261
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
262 8458 aaronmk
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
263
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
264
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
265
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
266
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
267
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
268
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
269
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
270
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
271
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
272
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
273
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
274
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
275
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
276
	Update vegbiendev:
277
		On jupiter: svn up
278
		On local machine:
279
			./fix_perms
280
			make inputs/upload
281 10025 aaronmk

287 1773 aaronmk

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
356
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
357
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
358
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
359
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
360
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
454
		To rename a table:
455
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
456
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
457
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
458
				Search for <new>
459
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
460
		To rename a column:
461
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
462
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
463
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
464
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
465
		Determine the poster size:
466
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
467
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
468
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
469
			Zoom in as far as possible
470
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
471
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
472
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
473
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
474
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
475
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
476
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
477
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
478
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
479
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
480
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
481
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
482
		Determine the cost:
483
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
484
				charges the following for posters:
485
				base: $7.25/sq ft
486
				lamination: $3/sq ft
487
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
490 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
491 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
492 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
493 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
494 8458 aaronmk
	Mapping process: make test
495
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
496
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
497
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
498
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
499
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
500
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
501
			the appropriate null value to use.
