Installation:

    Install: make install

        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!

    Uninstall: make uninstall

        WARNING: This will delete your entire VegBIEN DB!

        This includes all archived imports and staging tables.

Data import:

    Import data into VegBIEN: . bin/import_all

        Using column-based import: . bin/with_all 'import by_col=1'

    Stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports

    Archive the last import: make schemas/rotate

    Remove the last import: make schemas/public/reinstall

        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!

    Re-import data: make schemas/rotate; . bin/import_all

        Note: This will archive the last import.

Backups:

    After a new import:

        make schemas/rotate

        Rename the rotated schema using the date in the first datasource's log

            file name

        Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:

            make backups/public.<date>.backup/remove

        make backups/<schema>.backup/test & make backups/vegbien.backup/all &

    Archived imports:

        Back up: make backups/public.<date>.backup &

            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first (above)

        Test: make backups/public.<date>.backup/test &

        Restore: make backups/public.<date>.backup/restore &

        Remove: make backups/public.<date>.backup/remove

    Full DB:

        Back up, test, and rotate: make backups/vegbien.backup/all &

        Back up and rotate: make backups/vegbien.backup/rotate &

        Test: make backups/vegbien.<date>.backup/test &

        Restore: make backups/vegbien.<date>.backup/restore &

Datasource setup:

    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<name>/add

        <name> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.

        If the datasource is a herbarium, <name> should be the herbarium code as

        defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>

    Populate the src/ subdir with input data:

        Obtain/create CSVs for the table(s) present in the datasource:

            specimens, plots, organisms, stems

        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated

            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.

             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script

             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the

             subsequent headers as data rows.)

        Rename each CSV so it ends in ".<table>.<ext>" (see tables above)

    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:

        make inputs/<name>/; make inputs/<name>/

            Note: Must be run twice to properly bootstrap all maps.

        svn add inputs/<name>/maps/{*.csv,.*.last_cleanup}

    Install the staging tables:

        make inputs/<name>/reinstall quiet=1 &

        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<name>/import/install-<table>.log.sql

        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<name>/import/install-*.log.sql

            tail provides a header line with the filename

            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file

        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':

            Add a header override file "+header.<table>.<ext>" in src/:

                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.

                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.

                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files

                Add an ! at the beginning of the line

                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.

                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)

                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix

                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long

                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the

                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.

                Save

                svn add inputs/<name>/src/<header_override>

        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above

    Map each table's columns:

        In the maps/ subdir, for each "via map" of the form "<via>.<table>.csv":

            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor

            In /mappings, open the corresponding "core map" of the form

                "<via>-VegBIEN.<table>.csv"

            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the

                left column of the core map

            Save

        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<name>/

    Accept the test cases:

        make inputs/<name>/test/

            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER

        svn add inputs/<name>/test/*.ref

    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<name>/" inputs/<name>/

    Update vegbiendev:

        On vegbiendev: svn up

        On local machine: make inputs/upload

        On vegbiendev: Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above

    Regenerate schema from installed DB: make schemas/remake

    Reinstall DB from schema: make schemas/reinstall

        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!

    Reinstall errors tables: make inputs/install errors_table_only=1

    Reinstall staging tables: . bin/reinstall_all
