-====== Geosketch Data Origin ======
-dec 2022 re-create plunder database in a2hosting
-database: **voyccom_plunder**
-used by both plunder and geosketch
-  * geosketch is used to update the data
-  * plunder reads the data
-Historical note: three databases were used at webfaction.
-  - jhagstrand_plunder - the original plunder database of geographical data.
-  - voyc - used temporarily for building some of the plunder data js files.
-  - jhagstrand_voyc - the historical political data used in voyc.
-In the move from webfaction to a2hosting, those second two files were lost.
-That is not critical, because they were used only temporarily.
-Plunder loads its data from static js files, generated from the database.
-Voyc uses google maps api, and therefore does not need geographical data.
-Going forward, we will rebuild the voyccom_plunder database.
-It will contain all the geographic data for drawing the map.
-It will also contain political data, copied from the Voyc database.
-How will we resolve this dual maintenance of the political data?
-==== Create the database ====
-Create voyccom_plunder database on a2hosting/cPanel tool
-Create the schema
-  psql -d voyccom_plunder -U voyccom_jhagstrand -c "create schema plunder;"
-==== Load in the OSM-Tilemill archive ====
-This is evidently an older version of data found on natural earth data website.
-  cd ~/webprod/geosketch/geosketch/datasource/osmtilemill
-  wget https://github.com/polpols/OSM-Tilemill/archive/master.zip
-  unzip -j master */10m_geography_regions_polys.*
-  shp2pgsql -c -W LATIN1 10m_geography_regions_polys plunder.georegions >load.georegions.sql
-  psql -d voyccom_plunder -U voyccom_jhagstrand <load.georegions.sql
-This creates a table named georegions containing 1048 records classified by terrain type.
-  select gid, scalerank, featurecla, name, namealt, region, subregion, geom from plunder.georegions;
-==== Load rivers from natural earth data ====
-  cd ~/webprod/geosketch/geosketch/datasource/naturalearthdata/rivers
-  wget http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/50m/physical/ne_50m_rivers_lake_centerlines.zip
-  unzip -j ne_50m_rivers_lake_centerlines.zip
-  shp2pgsql -c -W LATIN1 ne_50m_rivers_lake_centerlines plunder.rivers50 >load.rivers50.sql
-  psql -d voyccom_plunder -U voyccom_jhagstrand <load.rivers50.sql
-select guid, scalerank, featurecla, name, note, min_zoom, name_alt, min_label, name_en, label
-from plunder.rivers50
-==== Load lakes and seas data from natural earth data ====
-  cd ~/webprod/geosketch/geosketch/datasource/naturalearthdata/lakes
-  wget https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/50m/physical/ne_50m_lakes.zip

-  shp2pgsql -c -W LATIN1 ne_50m_lakes plunder.lakes50 >load.lakes50.sql
-  psql -d voyc -U jhagstrand <load.lakes50.sql
-A table on this page includes names of the major seas.
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_and_geographic_borders
-==== Load politial data from voyc/fpd ====
-fpd.fpd contains 565,080 million rows
-empire.js contains 428 rows
-treasure.js contains 67 rows
-Copy the fpd table from voyc to plunder
-  pg_dump -Fp -b -O --column-inserts -U voyccom_jhagstrand -n fpd -f dumpvoyc.sql voyccom_voyc
-  psql -d voyccom_plunder -U voyccom_jhagstrand <dumpvoyc.sql

-==== File Folder Structure ====
-geosketch/sql/geo - sql files that generate data js files from plunder database\\
-geosketch/sql/poli - sql files that generate data js files from voyc database \\
-geosketch/datasource - original shapefiles downloaded from the interenet\\
-The datasource directory is not put in github, because the data is all zipped.
-But we retain a copy of it all anyway, in case it gets deleted from the cloud someday,
-and we need it for recovery.
-This page documents how the the zipped shapefiles in datasource were loaded into
-the plunder database.
-==== Delete the temp tables ====
-Keep plunder.plunder.\\
-plunder.plunder 2433 rows\\
-Drop the others.\\
-plunder.georegions 1048 rows\\
-plunder.rivers50 478 rows\\
-pluner.lakes50 412 rows\\
-fpd.fpd 565,080 rows\\
-drop table plunder.georegions;
-drop table plunder.rivers50;
-drop table pluner.lakes50;
-drop table fpd.fpd;
-drop schema fpd cascade;
-==== Fix Rivers ====
-select id, name, scalerank from plunder.plunder where id in (2009,2011);
-update plunder.plunder set scalerank=6 where id in (2009,2011);
