Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able to access the database as the postgres superuser.

If the datasource is a herbarium, should be the herbarium code as defined by the Index Herbariorum For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections): For .sql exports: Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/) Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below. This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev. On vegbiendev: Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin bin/mysql_bien database /_src/export.sql & mkdir inputs//_MySQL/ cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs//_MySQL/ Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien Skip the Add input data for each table section For MS Access databases: Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/ Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from http://www.bullzip.com/download.php Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database: Export just the tables/indexes to inputs//.schema.sql Export just the data to inputs//.data.sql In .schema.sql, make the following changes: Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER" Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION" Skip the Add input data for each table section Add input data for each table present in the datasource: For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table name from Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its name must end in ".src" make inputs///add Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named
! This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/. If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs//
/install Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in inputs//
/ OR place a query joining other tables together in inputs//
/create.sql Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same. (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the subsequent headers as data rows.) Add
to inputs//import_order.txt before other tables that depend on it Install the staging tables: make inputs//reinstall quiet=1 & For a MySQL .sql export: At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password To view progress: tail -f inputs//
/logs/install.log.sql View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs//*/logs/install.log.sql tail provides a header line with the filename +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once': Add a header override file "+header." in
/: Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files. "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII. Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files Add an ! at the beginning of the line This signals cat_csv that this is a header override. For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention) For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the map spreadsheets (below) are for. Save If you made any changes, re-run the install command above Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs// Map each table's columns: In each
/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv: Open the map in a spreadsheet editor Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the left column of the core map Save Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs// Accept the test cases: make inputs//test When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one: - If the error was due to a bug, fix it - Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data - Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error. Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping. When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge (see WinMerge setup below for configuration) make inputs//test by_col=1 If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself Add newly-created files: make inputs//add Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs//" inputs// Update vegbiendev: On jupiter: svn up On local machine: ./fix_perms make inputs/upload On vegbiendev: svn up make inputs/download Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above Datasource refreshing: VegBank: make inputs/VegBank/vegbank.sql-remake make inputs/VegBank/reinstall quiet=1 & Schema changes: When changing the analytical views, run sync_analytical_..._to_view() to update the corresponding table Remember to update the following files with any renamings: schemas/filter_ERD.csv mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv mappings/verify.*.sql Regenerate schema from installed DB: make schemas/remake Reinstall DB from schema: make schemas/public/reinstall schemas/reinstall WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB! Reinstall staging tables: On local machine: . bin/reinstall_all Fix any bugs and retry until no errors On vegbiendev: . bin/reinstall_all WARNING: Do not run this until reinstall_all runs successfully on the local machine, or the live DB may be unrestorable!
