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.

    Delete previous imports so they won't bloat the full DB backup:

    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

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

Datasource setup:
91
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
92
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
93
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
94
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
95
    Install any MySQL export:
96
        Create database in phpMyAdmin
97
        mysql -p database <export.sql
98
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
99
        Choose a table name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects
100
            /bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>, or use a custom name
101
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
102
            name must end in ".src"
103
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
104
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
105
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
106
        Place the CSV for the table in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
107
            OR place a query joining other tables together in
108
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
109
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
110
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
111
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
112
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
113
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
114
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
115
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
116
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
117
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
118
            that depend on it
119
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
120
    Install the staging tables:
121
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
122
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
123
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
124
            tail provides a header line with the filename
125
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
126
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
127
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
128
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
129
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
130
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
131
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
132
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
133
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
134
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
135
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
136
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
137
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
138
                Save
139
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
140
    Map each table's columns:
141
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
142
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
143
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
144
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
145
                left column of the core map
146
            Save
147
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
148
    Accept the test cases:
149
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
150
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
151
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
152
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
153
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
154
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
155
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
156
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
157
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
158
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
159
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
160
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
161
                either the unique constraints or column-based import itself
162
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
163
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
164
    Update vegbiendev:
165
        On vegbiendev: svn up
166
        On local machine: make inputs/upload
167
        On vegbiendev:

    Refactoring tips:
210
        To rename a table:
211
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
212
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
213
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
214
                Search for <new>
215
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
216
        To rename a column:
217
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
218
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
219
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
220

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