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
    On local machine:
16
        make test by_col=1
17
            See note under Testing below
18
    On vegbiendev:
19
    svn up

    Update the schemas: make schemas/reinstall
21
        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
22
        To save it: make schemas/rotate
23
        Important: This must be done *after* running make_analytical_db on a
24
            previous import
25
    Import the TNRS names:
26
        make inputs/.TNRS/cleanup; make inputs/.TNRS/import by_col=1 &
27
    Wait for the TNRS import to finish: wait
28
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
29
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
30
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
31
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
32
    ./bin/make_analytical_db &
33
    Wait for make_analytical_db to finish
34
    Archive the last import: make schemas/rotate
35
        Important: This must be done *after* running make_analytical_db
36
    Rename the rotated schema using the date in the first datasource's log
37
        file name
38
    tail inputs/*/*/logs/<date>-*.log.sql
39
    Check that every input's log ends in "Encountered 0 error(s)"
40
    If many do not, fix the bug and discard the current (partial) import:
41
        make schemas/public/reinstall
42
    Otherwise, continue
43
    Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
44
        make backups/public.<datetime>.backup/remove
45
    make inputs/.TNRS/cleanup; make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
46
    make backups/public.<datetime>.backup/test &
47
    make backups/vegbien.<datetime>.backup/test &

    On local machine:
49
        make inputs/download-logs tnrs_log=1
50
        make backups/download
51
        make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall; make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
52
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
53
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
54
        Insert a copy of the leftmost Column-based column group before it
55
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
56
        ./bin/import_times inputs/*/*/logs/<date>-*.log.sql
57
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
58
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
59
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
60
            until they do

Datasource setup:
81
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
82
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
83
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
84
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
85
    Install any MySQL export:
86
        Create database in phpMyAdmin
87
        mysql -p database <export.sql
88
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
89
        Choose a table name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects
90
            /bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>, or use a custom name
91
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
92
            name must end in ".src"
93
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
94
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
95
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
96
        Place the CSV for the table in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
97
            OR place a query joining other tables together in
98
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql and svn add this file
99
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
100
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
101
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
102
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
103
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
104
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
105
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
106
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
107
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
108
            that depend on it
109
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:
110
        make inputs/<datasrc>/
111
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/{,.}{header,map,*terms,VegBIEN}.csv{,.*}
112
    Install the staging tables:
113
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
114
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
115
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
116
            tail provides a header line with the filename
117
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
118
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
119
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
120
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
121
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
122
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
123
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
124
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
125
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
126
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
127
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
128
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
129
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
130
                Save
131
                svn add inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/<header_override>
132
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
133
    Map each table's columns:
134
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
135
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
136
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
137
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
138
                left column of the core map
139
            Save
140
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
141
    Accept the test cases:
142
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
143
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
144
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
145
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
146
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
147
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
148
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
149
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
150
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
151
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
152
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
153
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
154
                either the unique constraints or column-based import itself
155
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
156
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
203
        To rename a table:
204
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
205
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
206
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
207
                Search for <new>
208
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
209
        To rename a column:
210
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
211
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
212
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
213

    
214
Testing:
215
    Mapping process: make test
216
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
217
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
218
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
219
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
220
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
221
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
222
            the appropriate null value to use.
223
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
224
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
225
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
