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. Maintenance: Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport. 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: On vegbiendev: make schemas/rotate Rename the rotated schema using the date in the first datasource's log file name tail inputs/*/*/logs/-*.log.sql Check that every input's log ends in "Encountered 0 error(s)" If many do not, fix the bug and discard the current (partial) import Otherwise, continue Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup: make backups/public..backup/remove make backups/.backup/test & make backups/vegbien.backup/all & On local machine: make inputs/download-logs make backups/download & If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls Archived imports: Back up: make backups/public..backup & Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first (above) Test: make backups/public..backup/test & Restore: make backups/public..backup/restore & Remove: make backups/public..backup/remove Download: make backups/download 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..backup/test & Restore: make backups/vegbien..backup/restore & Download: make backups/download Import logs: Download: make inputs/download-logs Datasource setup: Add a new datasource: make inputs//add may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated. If the datasource is a herbarium, should be the herbarium code as defined by the Index Herbariorum Add input data: Obtain/create CSVs for the table(s) present in the datasource: specimens, 0.plots, 1.organisms, 2.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.) Place each CSV in a subdir named according to one of the tables above Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs//; make inputs// Note: Must be run twice to properly bootstrap all maps. svn add inputs//*/{{src,map*,VegBIEN}.csv,.*.last_cleanup} Install the staging tables: make inputs//reinstall quiet=1 & To view progress: tail -f inputs///logs/install.log.sql View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs//*/logs/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." in
/: 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//
/ If you made any changes, re-run the install command above Map each table's columns: In each
/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv: Open the map in a spreadsheet editor Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.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// Accept the test cases: make inputs//test When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one: - If the error was due to a bug, fix it - Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data - Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error. Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping. When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge (see WinMerge setup below for configuration) svn add inputs//*/test.xml.ref Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs//" inputs// Update vegbiendev: On vegbiendev: svn up On local machine: make inputs/upload On vegbiendev: Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above Schema changes: 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!
