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

        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
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
26
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
27
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
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.
32
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
33
    ./bin/make_analytical_db &
34
    Wait for make_analytical_db to finish
35
    Archive the last import: make schemas/rotate
36
        Important: This must be done *after* running make_analytical_db
37
    Rename the rotated schema using the date in the first datasource's log
38
        file name
39
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/*.r<revision>[.-]*log.sql
40
    Check that every input's log ends in "Encountered 0 error(s)"
41
    If many do not, fix the bug and discard the current (partial) import:
42
        make schemas/public/reinstall
43
    Otherwise, continue
44
    Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
45
        make backups/public.<version>.backup/remove
46
    make inputs/.TNRS/cleanup; make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
47
    make backups/public.<version>.backup/test &
48
    make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
49
    On local machine:
50
        make inputs/download-logs tnrs_log=1
51
        make backups/download
52
        make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall; make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
53
        make inputs/.TNRS/cleanup
54
            This is necessary because the PostgreSQL collation may differ
55
            between vegbiendev's and your DB.
56
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
57
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
58
        Insert a copy of the leftmost Column-based column group before it
59
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
60
        ./bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/*.r<revision>[.-]*log.sql
61
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
62
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
63
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
64
            until they do

84
Datasource setup:
85
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
86
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
87
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
88
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
89
    Install any MySQL export:
90
        Create database in phpMyAdmin
91
        mysql -p database <export.sql
92
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
93
        Choose a table name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects
94
            /bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>, or use a custom name
95
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
96
            name must end in ".src"
97
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
98
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
99
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
100
        Place the CSV for the table in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
101
            OR place a query joining other tables together in
102
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql and svn add this file
103
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
104
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
105
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
106
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
107
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
108
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
109
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
110
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
111
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
112
            that depend on it
113
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets:
114
        make inputs/<datasrc>/
115
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/{,.}{header,map,*terms,VegBIEN}.csv{,.*}
116
    Install the staging tables:
117
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
118
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
119
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
120
            tail provides a header line with the filename
121
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
122
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
123
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
124
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
125
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
126
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
127
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
128
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
129
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
130
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
131
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
132
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
133
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
134
                Save
135
                svn add inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/<header_override>
136
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
137
    Map each table's columns:
138
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
139
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
140
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
141
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
142
                left column of the core map
143
            Save
144
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
145
    Accept the test cases:
146
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
147
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
148
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
149
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
150
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
151
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
152
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
153
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
154
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
155
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
156
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
157
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
158
                either the unique constraints or column-based import itself
159
        svn add inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
160
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
208
        To rename a table:
209
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
210
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
211
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
212
                Search for <new>
213
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
214
        To rename a column:
215
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
216
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
217
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
218

    
219
Testing:
220
    Mapping process: make test
221
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
222
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
223
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
224
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
225
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
226
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
227
            the appropriate null value to use.
228
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
229
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
230
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
