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.

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 4182 aaronmk
        tail inputs/*/*/logs/<date>-*.log.sql
31 3845 aaronmk
        Check that every input's log ends in "Encountered 0 error(s)"
32
        If many do not, fix the bug and discard the current (partial) import
33
        Otherwise, continue
34 3548 aaronmk
        Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
35 3845 aaronmk
            make backups/public.<datetime>.backup/remove
36 3547 aaronmk
        make backups/<schema>.backup/test & make backups/vegbien.backup/all &
37 3698 aaronmk
        On local machine:
38
            make inputs/download-logs
39 3701 aaronmk
            make backups/download &
40 3845 aaronmk
            If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls
41 3408 aaronmk
    Archived imports:
42
        Back up: make backups/public.<date>.backup &
43 3546 aaronmk
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first (above)

Datasource setup:
58 4219 aaronmk
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
59
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
60
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
61
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
62 4218 aaronmk
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
63
        Choose a table name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects
64
            /bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>, or use a custom name
65 4264 aaronmk
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
66
            name must end in ".src"
67 4219 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
68
        Place the CSV for the table in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
69 4264 aaronmk
            OR place a query joining other tables together in
70
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql and svn add this file
71 4212 aaronmk
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
72
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
73
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
74 3612 aaronmk
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
75
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
76
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
77
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
78
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
79 4255 aaronmk
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
80 4220 aaronmk
            that depend on it
81 3593 aaronmk
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:
82 4219 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/; make inputs/<datasrc>/
83 3593 aaronmk
            Note: Must be run twice to properly bootstrap all maps.
84 4265 aaronmk
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/{,.}{header,src,map*,VegBIEN}.csv{,.*}
85 3611 aaronmk
    Install the staging tables:
86 4219 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
87
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
88
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
89 3611 aaronmk
            tail provides a header line with the filename
90
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
91
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
92 4182 aaronmk
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
93 3611 aaronmk
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
94
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
95
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
96
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
97
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
98
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
99
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
100
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
101
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
102
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
103
                Save
104 4219 aaronmk
                svn add inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/<header_override>
105 3611 aaronmk
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
106 3576 aaronmk
    Map each table's columns:
107 4125 aaronmk
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
108 3576 aaronmk
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
109 4125 aaronmk
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
110 3576 aaronmk
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
111
                left column of the core map
112
            Save
113 4219 aaronmk
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
114 3593 aaronmk
    Accept the test cases:
115 4219 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
116 3593 aaronmk
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
117 3690 aaronmk
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
118
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
119
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
120
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
121
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
122
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
123 3783 aaronmk
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
124
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
