Datasource setup:
165 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
166 11090 aaronmk
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
167 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
168 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
169
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
170
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
171
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
172 11018 aaronmk
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
173 11019 aaronmk
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
174 8458 aaronmk
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
175
		For .sql exports:
176
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
177
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
178
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
179
			On vegbiendev:
180
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
181 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
182
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
183
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
184 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
185
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
186
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
187
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
188
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
189
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
190
	For MS Access databases:
191
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
192
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
193
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
194
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
195
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
196
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
197
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
198
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
199
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
200
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
201
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
202
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
203
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
204
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
205
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
206
			name must end in ".src"
207
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
208
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
209
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
210
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
211
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
212
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
213
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
214
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
215
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
216
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
217
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
218
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
219 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
220
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
221
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
222 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
223
			that depend on it
224 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
225
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
226
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
227 8458 aaronmk
	Install the staging tables:
228
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
229
		For a MySQL .sql export:
230
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
231
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
232
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
233
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
234
			tail provides a header line with the filename
235
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
236
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
237
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
238
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
239
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
240
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
241
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
242
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
243
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
244
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
245
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
246
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
247
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
248
				Save
249
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
250
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
251
	Map each table's columns:
252
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
253
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
254
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
255
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
256
				left column of the core map
257
			Save
258
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
259
	Accept the test cases:
260 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
261
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
262
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
263
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
264
		For an old-style datasource:
265
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
266 8458 aaronmk
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
267
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
268
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
269
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
270
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
271
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
272
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
273
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
274
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
275
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
276
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
277
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
278
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
279
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
280
	Update vegbiendev:
281
		On jupiter: svn up
282
		On local machine:
283
			./fix_perms
284
			make inputs/upload
285 10025 aaronmk

			svn up
288
			make inputs/download
289 10025 aaronmk

			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
291 1773 aaronmk

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
366
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
367
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
368
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
369
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
370
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
464
		To rename a table:
465
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
466
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
467
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
468
				Search for <new>
469
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
470
		To rename a column:
471
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
472
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
473
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
474
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
475
		Determine the poster size:
476
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
477
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
478
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
479
			Zoom in as far as possible
480
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
481
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
482
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
483
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
484
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
485
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
486
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
487
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
488
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
489
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
490
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
491
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
492
		Determine the cost:
493
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
494
				charges the following for posters:
495
				base: $7.25/sq ft
496
				lamination: $3/sq ft
497
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
500 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
501 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
502 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
503 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
504 8458 aaronmk
	Mapping process: make test
505
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
506
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
507
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
508
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
509
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
510
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
511
			the appropriate null value to use.
