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.

Backups:
25 3547 aaronmk
    After a new import:
26 3698 aaronmk
        On vegbiendev:
27 3547 aaronmk
        make schemas/rotate
28
        Rename the rotated schema using the date in the first datasource's log
29
            file name
30 3548 aaronmk
        Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
31
            make backups/public.<date>.backup/remove
32 3547 aaronmk
        make backups/<schema>.backup/test & make backups/vegbien.backup/all &

        On local machine:

            make backups/download &
36 3408 aaronmk
    Archived imports:
37
        Back up: make backups/public.<date>.backup &
38 3546 aaronmk
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first (above)

Datasource setup:
53 3586 aaronmk
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<name>/add
54
        <name> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
55
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <name> should be the herbarium code as
56
        defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
57 3557 aaronmk
    Populate the src/ subdir with input data:
58 3586 aaronmk
        Obtain/create CSVs for the table(s) present in the datasource:
59 3557 aaronmk
            specimens, plots, organisms, stems
60 3612 aaronmk
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
61
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
62
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
63
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
64
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
65 3557 aaronmk
        Rename each CSV so it ends in ".<table>.<ext>" (see tables above)
66 3593 aaronmk
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:
67
        make inputs/<name>/; make inputs/<name>/
68
            Note: Must be run twice to properly bootstrap all maps.
69
        svn add inputs/<name>/maps/{*.csv,.*.last_cleanup}
70 3611 aaronmk
    Install the staging tables:
71
        make inputs/<name>/reinstall quiet=1 &
72
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<name>/import/install-<table>.log.sql
73 3614 aaronmk
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<name>/import/install-*.log.sql
74 3611 aaronmk
            tail provides a header line with the filename
75
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
76
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
77
            Add a header override file "+header.<table>.<ext>" in src/:
78
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
79
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
80
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
81
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
82
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
83
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
84
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
85
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
86
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
87
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
88
                Save
89
                svn add inputs/<name>/src/<header_override>
90
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
91 3576 aaronmk
    Map each table's columns:
92
        In the maps/ subdir, for each "via map" of the form "<via>.<table>.csv":
93
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
94
            In /mappings, open the corresponding "core map" of the form
95
                "<via>-VegBIEN.<table>.csv"
96
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
97
                left column of the core map
98
            Save
99
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<name>/
100 3593 aaronmk
    Accept the test cases:
101
        make inputs/<name>/test/
102
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
103 3690 aaronmk
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
104
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
105
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
106
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
107
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
108
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
109 3593 aaronmk
