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.

28
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
29
            won't be owned by your shell.
30
        Note that import_all will take 1 hour+ to import the TNRS names before
31
            returning control to the shell.

    If many do not, fix the bug and discard the current (partial) import:

    Otherwise, continue
44
    Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:

        make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall; make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
53
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
54
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
55
        Insert a copy of the leftmost Column-based column group before it

59
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts

81
Datasource setup:
82
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
83
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
84
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
85
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
86
    Install any MySQL export:
87
        Create database in phpMyAdmin
88
        mysql -p database <export.sql
89
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
90
        Choose a table name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects
91
            /bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>, or use a custom name
92
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
93
            name must end in ".src"
94
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
95
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
96
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
97
        Place the CSV for the table in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
98
            OR place a query joining other tables together in
99
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql and svn add this file
100
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
101
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
102
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
103
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
104
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
105
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
106
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
107
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
108
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
109
            that depend on it
110
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:
111
        make inputs/<datasrc>/
112
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/{,.}{header,map,*terms,VegBIEN}.csv{,.*}
113
    Install the staging tables:
114
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
115
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
116
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
117
            tail provides a header line with the filename
118
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
119
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
120
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
121
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
122
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
123
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
124
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
125
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
126
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
127
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
128
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
129
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
130
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
131
                Save
132
                svn add inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/<header_override>
133
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
134
    Map each table's columns:
135
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
136
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
137
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
138
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
139
                left column of the core map
140
            Save
141
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
142
    Accept the test cases:
143
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
144
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
145
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
146
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
147
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
148
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
149
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
150
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
151
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
152
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
153
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
154
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
155
                either the unique constraints or column-based import itself
156
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
157
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
205
        To rename a table:
206
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
207
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
208
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
209
                Search for <new>
210
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
211
        To rename a column:
212
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
213
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
214
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
215

    
216
Testing:
217
    Mapping process: make test
218
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
219
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
220
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
221
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
222
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
223
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
224
            the appropriate null value to use.
225
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
226
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
227
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
