Revision 8458

README.TXT: converted spaces to tabs for easier readability in a whitespace-highlighting text editor, and so that pressing backspace deletes an indent rather than just a character (creating a misaligned indent)

Maintenance:

    VegCore data dictionary:
12
        Regularly, or whenever the VegCore data dictionary page
13
            (https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore)
14
            is changed, regenerate mappings/VegCore.csv:
15
            make mappings/VegCore.htm-remake; make mappings/
16
            svn di mappings/VegCore.tables.redmine
17
            If there are changes, update the data dictionary's Tables section
18
            When moving terms, check that no terms were lost: svn di
19
            svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki"
20
    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
21
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
22
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
23
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
24
        to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
25
        Linux and Mac OS X.

    (Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1
30
    (Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub by_col=1

Full database import:
34
    On jupiter: svn up
35
    On local machine:
36
        ./fix_perms
37
        make inputs/upload
38
        make test by_col=1
39
            See note under Testing below
40
    On vegbiendev:
41
    Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
42
    svn up
43
    make inputs/download
44
    For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
45
    Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
46
        The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
47
    Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
48
        make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
49
        To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
50
            export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
51
    Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
52
        The import schema is 100GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
53
        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
54
            List backups/ to view older backups
55
            Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
56
            Remove these backups
57
    unset version
58
    screen
59
    Press ENTER
60
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
61
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
62
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
63
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
64
            won't be owned by your shell.
65
        Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
66
            and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
67
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
68
    To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
69
    When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
70
    Get $version: echo $version
71
    Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
72
    Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload
73
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
74
    In PostgreSQL:
75
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
76
            inputs
77
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
78
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
79
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
80
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
81
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
82
    Otherwise, continue
83
    make schemas/$version/publish

        For each newly-archived backup:
90
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
91
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
92
    On nimoy:

        env table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
103
            backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
104
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
105
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
106
        If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
107
            Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
108
            Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
109
                now in the copied tab instead
110
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it

        export version=<version>
112
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql

115
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
116
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
117
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
118
            until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:

Datasource setup:
159
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
160
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
161
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
162
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
163
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
164
        For .sql exports:
165
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
166
            Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
167
                This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
168
            On vegbiendev:
169
                Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
170
                bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
171
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
172
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
173
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
174
            For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
175
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
176
    For MS Access databases:
177
        Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
178
        Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
179
            http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
180
        Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
181
            Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
182
            Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
183
        In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
184
            Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
185
            Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
186
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
187
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
188
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
189
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
190
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
191
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
192
            name must end in ".src"
193
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
194
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
195
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
196
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
197
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
198
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
199
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
200
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
201
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
202
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
203
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
204
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
205
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
206
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
207
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
208
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
209
            that depend on it
210
    Install the staging tables:
211
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
212
        For a MySQL .sql export:
213
            At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
214
            At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
215
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
216
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
217
            tail provides a header line with the filename
218
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
219
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
220
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
221
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
222
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
223
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
224
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
225
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
226
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
227
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
228
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
229
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
230
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
231
                Save
232
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
233
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
234
    Map each table's columns:
235
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
236
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
237
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
238
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
239
                left column of the core map
240
            Save
241
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
242
    Accept the test cases:
243
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
244
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
245
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
246
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
247
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
248
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
249
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
250
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
251
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
252
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
253
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
254
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
255
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
256
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
257
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
258
    Update vegbiendev:
259
        On jupiter: svn up
260
        On local machine:
261
            ./fix_perms
262
            make inputs/upload
263
        On vegbiendev:
264
            svn up
265
            make inputs/download
266
            Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
159
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
160
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
161
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
162
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
163
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
164
		For .sql exports:
165
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
166
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
167
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
168
			On vegbiendev:
169
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
170
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
171
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
172
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
173
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
174
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
175
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
176
	For MS Access databases:
177
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
178
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
179
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
180
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
181
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
182
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
183
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
184
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
185
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
186
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
187
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
188
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
189
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
190
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
191
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
192
			name must end in ".src"
193
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
194
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
195
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
196
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
197
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
198
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
199
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
200
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
201
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
202
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
203
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
204
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
205
			 (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
206
			 assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
207
			 subsequent headers as data rows.)
208
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
209
			that depend on it
210
	Install the staging tables:
211
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
212
		For a MySQL .sql export:
213
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
214
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
215
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
216
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
217
			tail provides a header line with the filename
218
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
219
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
220
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
221
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
222
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
223
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
224
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
225
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
226
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
227
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
228
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
229
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
230
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
231
				Save
232
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
233
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
316
        To rename a table:
317
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
318
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
319
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
320
                Search for <new>
321
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
322
        To rename a column:
323
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
324
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
325
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
326
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
327
        Determine the poster size:
328
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
329
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
330
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
331
            Zoom in as far as possible
332
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
333
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
334
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
335
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
336
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
337
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
338
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
339
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
340
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
341
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
342
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
343
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait

            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
358
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
359
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
360
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
361
            the appropriate null value to use.
