  1. Data analysis by querying … and more Lorentz center, Wednesday, 16 November 2005

  2. Python queries • Seamless integration of database and data reduction • DB backend independent • Search for raw and reduced calibration and science objects • Attributes satisfying certain criteria • Dependencies satisfying certain criteria • Sometimes SQL is better suited • Grouping • Finding objects on which others depend

  3. examples f = (Filter.name == '#841')[0] m = MasterFlatFrame.filter == f ReducedScienceFrame.flat == m[41]

  4. SQL • Oracle 10g • Syntax • Standards compliant • Oracle specific extra's • PL/SQL • Function and procedures • Methods

  5. Astro-Wise • Persistent Python objects • User-defined TYPEs and REFerences • ObjectTABLEs and VIEWs • Python class User-defined TYPE • Python object Object TABLE • len(RawScienceFrame.imstat.stdev < 10.0)SELECT COUNT(*)FROM AWOPER."RawScienceFrame" TWHERE T."imstat"."stdev" < 10.0;

  6. examples • Pythonlen(RawScienceFrame.imstat.stdev < 10.0) • Oracle SQLSELECT COUNT(*)FROM AWOPER."RawScienceFrame" TWHERE T."imstat"."stdev" < 10.0; • SELECT T."imstat"."stdev" x , T."flat"."imstat"."stdev" yFROM AWOPER."ReducedScienceFrame" TWHERE T."chip"."name"='ccd53' AND T."filter"."name"='#843' • Start with dbview.astro-wise.org

  7. Context • Handling large amounts of data • Work together • Work in a consistent way • Experiment with source code • Know what data and code was used • Keep data private • Make data public • Throw away data

  8. Context • Organize in Projects, that have • A name and description • Users • Default privileges • Responsible - privileged – users • New objects are automatically part of the currently active context • Tools to safely delete or publish data • Be aware of dependencies for history tracking

  9. Context • User – Project – Astro-Wise … • Setting a project can make more data visible to a user • Setting an instrument can make less data visible to a user • Queries are more suited for some uses of context • Make it easy to query on user and project from awe

  10. examples from astro.database.Context import context context.set_project('WORKSHOP2005') context.set_project('OCAM ILT') context.get_projects() context.get_current_project().name CALL AWOPER.AWSECURITY.SET_PROJECT('OCAM ILT')

  11. Federation • Goal • Distribute data • Distribute queries • Avoid copying data • Available database technology • Non-existent • Oracle technology • Streams • Advanced Replication • Datapump

  12. Federation • Short time-scale – this year • Datapump, low frequency, 1/day • Medium time-scale – Q2 next year • Advanced Replication • Streams • Long time-scale - > Q2 next year • Streams • Distributed data and querying

  13. Code versions • Tag code and objects • Difficult to know with which code a number was exactly calculated • Set version tags strategically • Objects get version from the module in which their class is defined • Might be sufficient in many cases

  14. Finally … … be creative
