FORK OF MBZDB

1- Edit settings.pl to match your environment. 2- Edit settings_mysql.pl or settings_postgresql.pl to match your database environment. 3- Run ./init.pl

You may need to install the following CPAN modules in order to proceed: perl -MCPAN -e install LWP::UserAgent perl -MCPAN -e install DBI perl -MCPAN -e install DBD::Pg perl -MCPAN -e install DBD::mysql

===== Version log ===== 5.0

• Full support for NGS for both PostgreSQL and MySQL.
• settings.pl is now split so that each backend gets its own relevant settings file.
• A few minor bug fixes.

7.0

• Allow parts of the init script to run in batch mode and/or in parallel: ** Create tables: ./init.pl --action=2 --ask=0 ** Download mbdump: ./init.pl --action=10 --ask=0 ** Uncompress mbdump: ./init.pl --action=11 --ask=0 --bzip="/usr/bin/pbzip2 -m10240 -p16 -r -v" --pipe-bzip=1 --parallel=1 *** Note at the moment pbzip2 can't make use of all cores when decompressing because of the format of the mbdump files created by MuscBrainz. ** Load data: ./init.pl --action=4 --ask=0
• After that, you can continue the database creation using the 5, 6 & 7 init.pl options from the interactive menu (indexing, foreign keys creation, plugins initialization).

===== Further improvements ===== Some ideas may be worth looking at:

• Create primary keys before LOAD DATA: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/optimizing-innodb-ddl-operations.html
