Installation:
2
    Install: make install
3
        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
4
    Uninstall: make uninstall
5
        WARNING: This will delete your entire VegBIEN DB!
6
        This includes all archived imports and staging tables.

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.
13

    
14
Data import:
15
    Import data into VegBIEN: . bin/import_all
16
        Using column-based import: . bin/with_all 'import by_col=1'
17
    Stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
18
    Archive the last import: make schemas/rotate
19
    Remove the last import: make schemas/public/reinstall
20
        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
21
    Re-import data: make schemas/rotate; . bin/import_all
22
        Note: This will archive the last import.
23

    
24
Backups:
25
    After a new import:
26
        On vegbiendev:
27
        make schemas/rotate
28
        Rename the rotated schema using the date in the first datasource's log
29
            file name
30
        tail inputs/*/*/logs/<date>-*.log.sql
31
        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
        Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
35
            make backups/public.<datetime>.backup/remove
36
        make backups/<schema>.backup/test & make backups/vegbien.backup/all &
37
        On local machine:
38
            make inputs/download-logs
39
            make backups/download &
40
            If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls
41
    Archived imports:
42
        Back up: make backups/public.<date>.backup &
43
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first (above)
44
        Test: make backups/public.<date>.backup/test &
45
        Restore: make backups/public.<date>.backup/restore &
46
        Remove: make backups/public.<date>.backup/remove
47
        Download: make backups/download
48
    Full DB:
49
        Back up, test, and rotate: make backups/vegbien.backup/all &
50
        Back up and rotate: make backups/vegbien.backup/rotate &
51
        Test: make backups/vegbien.<date>.backup/test &
52
        Restore: make backups/vegbien.<date>.backup/restore &
53
        Download: make backups/download
54
    Import logs:
55
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
56

    
57
Datasource setup:
58
    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
    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
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
66
            name must end in ".src"
67
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
68
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
69
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
70
        Place the CSV for the table in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
71
            OR place a query joining other tables together in
72
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql and svn add this file
73
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
74
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
75
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
76
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
77
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
78
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
79
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
80
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
81
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
82
            that depend on it
83
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:
84
        make inputs/<datasrc>/; make inputs/<datasrc>/
85
            Note: Must be run twice to properly bootstrap all maps.
86
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/{,.}{header,src,map*,VegBIEN}.csv{,.*}
87
    Install the staging tables:
88
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
89
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
90
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
91
            tail provides a header line with the filename
92
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
93
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
94
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
95
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
96
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
97
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
98
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
99
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
100
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
101
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
102
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
103
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
104
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
105
                Save
106
                svn add inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/<header_override>
107
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
108
    Map each table's columns:
109
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
110
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
111
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
112
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
113
                left column of the core map
114
            Save
115
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
116
    Accept the test cases:
117
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
118
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
119
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
120
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
121
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
122
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
123
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
124
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
125
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
126
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
127
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
