Maintenance:
9
    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
10
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
11
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
12
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport.

Data import:
15 1550 aaronmk
    Import data into VegBIEN: . bin/import_all
16 3205 aaronmk
        Using column-based import: . bin/with_all 'import by_col=1'
17 1556 aaronmk
    Stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
18 2976 aaronmk
    Archive the last import: make schemas/rotate
19 3381 aaronmk
    Remove the last import: make schemas/public/reinstall
20
        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
21 2976 aaronmk
    Re-import data: make schemas/rotate; . bin/import_all
22
        Note: This will archive the last import.

24 3545 aaronmk
Backups:
25 3547 aaronmk
    After a new import:
26
        make schemas/rotate
27
        Rename the rotated schema using the date in the first datasource's log
28
            file name
29 3548 aaronmk
        Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
30
            make backups/public.<date>.backup/remove
31 3547 aaronmk
        make backups/<schema>.backup/test & make backups/vegbien.backup/all &
32 3408 aaronmk
    Archived imports:
33
        Back up: make backups/public.<date>.backup &
34 3546 aaronmk
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first (above)
35 3410 aaronmk
        Test: make backups/public.<date>.backup/test &
36 3408 aaronmk
        Restore: make backups/public.<date>.backup/restore &
37
        Remove: make backups/public.<date>.backup/remove
38
    Full DB:
39 3546 aaronmk
        Back up, test, and rotate: make backups/vegbien.backup/all &
40 3439 aaronmk
        Back up and rotate: make backups/vegbien.backup/rotate &

Datasource setup:
45 3586 aaronmk
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<name>/add
46
        <name> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
47
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <name> should be the herbarium code as
48
        defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
49 3557 aaronmk
    Populate the src/ subdir with input data:
50 3586 aaronmk
        Obtain/create CSVs for the table(s) present in the datasource:
51 3557 aaronmk
            specimens, plots, organisms, stems
52 3612 aaronmk
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
53
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
54
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
55
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
56
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
57 3557 aaronmk
        Rename each CSV so it ends in ".<table>.<ext>" (see tables above)
58 3593 aaronmk
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:
59
        make inputs/<name>/; make inputs/<name>/
60
            Note: Must be run twice to properly bootstrap all maps.
61
        svn add inputs/<name>/maps/{*.csv,.*.last_cleanup}
62 3611 aaronmk
    Install the staging tables:
63
        make inputs/<name>/reinstall quiet=1 &
64
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<name>/import/install-<table>.log.sql
65 3614 aaronmk
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<name>/import/install-*.log.sql
66 3611 aaronmk
            tail provides a header line with the filename
67
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
68
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
69
            Add a header override file "+header.<table>.<ext>" in src/:
70
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
71
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
72
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
73
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
74
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
75
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
76
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
77
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
78
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
79
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
80
                Save
81
                svn add inputs/<name>/src/<header_override>
82
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
83 3576 aaronmk
    Map each table's columns:
84
        In the maps/ subdir, for each "via map" of the form "<via>.<table>.csv":
85
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
86
            In /mappings, open the corresponding "core map" of the form
87
                "<via>-VegBIEN.<table>.csv"
88
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
89
                left column of the core map
90
            Save
91
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<name>/
