MariaDB to PostgreSQL data variance tracker

[amyfromandi]

Following up from Issue #60, we migrated the MariaDB data into a new PostgreSQL macrostrat_temp database. Next, we counted and compared rows between macrostrat_temp and the already existent macrostrat database in PostgreSQL. Below is the summary of variances as well as their solutions. Our goal is to retain and not delete any data across both macrostrat (PostgreSQL) and macrostrat_temp (MariaDB) db's.

1. macrostrat tables not found in macrostrat_temp

['strat_name_footprints', 'grainsize', 'pbdb_collections', 'pbdb_collections_strat_names', 'temp_rocks', 'temp_names', 'unit_lith_atts']

• We have decided ignore retaining temp_rocks and temp_names since they are irrelevant tables. Additionally, macrostrat.unit_lith_atts is equivalent to the already existent macrostrat_temp.unit_liths_atts so we ignored this table as well.
• Solution: From macrostrat into macrostrat_temp, we copied over tables: strat_name_footprints, grainsize, pbdb_collections, and pbdb_collections_strat_names within the preserve-macrostrat-data script.

2. macrostrat columns not found in macrostrat_temp

table: {'column_name'}: lookup_unit_intervals: {'best_interval_id'}, strat_tree: {'child', 'parent'}, units: {'notes'}, col_areas: {'wkt'}, cols: {'poly_geom', 'wkt', 'notes'}, intervals: {'rank'}, measuremeta: {'geometry'}

• lookup_unit_intervals: {'best_interval_id'}

  • This column was created during the initial migration to PostgreSQL and populated with data using the schlep process script.
  • Solution: We added this column into macrostrat_temp and seeded it with data here.

• strat_tree: {'child', 'parent'}

  • These columns were renamed during the initial migration to PostgreSQL using the schlep dump script
  • Solution: We renamed the columns in macrostrat_temp within the pre-script code that is executed before the migration into PostgreSQL. this_name column is renamed to parent and that_name column to child respectively.
  • We repointed the v2/v3 API to use these new column names.

• units: {'notes'}

  • This column is empty and macrostrat_temp already has a unit_notes table.
  • Solution: We're ignoring this column.

• col_areas: {'wkt'}

  • Solution: added a wkt text column within macrostrat_temp and seeded it with data.

• cols: {'poly_geom', 'wkt', 'notes'}

  • This column was created during the initial migration to PostgreSQL and populated with data using the schlep scripts.
  • Solution: We added a poly_geom and wkt column into macrostrat_temp and seeded it with data using the schlep process script. Additionally, the macrostrat_temp db already has a cols_notes table and the notes column is empty, so we are ignoring this column.

• intervals: {'rank'}

  • This column was created during the initial migration to PostgreSQL and populated with data using the schlep scripts.
    • Solution: We added a rank column into macrostrat_temp and seeded it with data using the schlep process script into our preserve-macrostrat-data script.

• measuremeta: {'geometry'}

  • Solution: We added a geometry column into macrostrat_temp and seeded it with data using the table's lat/lng columns.

These are the final results of the MariaDB migration within development!

Comparing macrostrat_temp (MariaDB) to macrostrat_temp.

Checking table counts...

SUCCESS: 0 All tables in macrostrat_temp (MariaDB) exist in macrostrat_temp.

SUCCESS: 4 macrostrat (PostgreSQL) tables succesfully copied into macrostrat_temp to retain data!
['strat_name_footprints', 'grainsize', 'pbdb_collections', 'pbdb_collections_strat_names']

Checking row counts...

SUCCESS: All row counts in all tables are the same in macrostrat_temp (MariaDB) and macrostrat_temp!

Checking column counts...

SUCCESS: Columns for 5 tables successfully copied over from macrostrat (PostgreSQL) into macrostrat_temp, to retain data!

Comparing macrostrat_temp to macrostrat (PostgreSQL).

Checking table counts...

SUCCESS: 40 macrostrat_temp tables copied over from MariaDB that do not exist in macrostrat (PostgreSQL). This confirms data retention!

SUCCESS: 3 macrostrat (PostgreSQL) tables did not copy into macrostrat_temp. These tables are irrelevant and do not need to be retained.
['temp_rocks', 'temp_names', 'unit_lith_atts']

Checking row counts...

SUCCESS: Row counts are greater in macrostrat_temp rather than macrostrat (PostgreSQL) for 26 tables, indicating data retention from Mariadb!
