readme.txt US3 Database and Stored Procedures Reference For notes and a US3 Stored Procedures API reference see the US3 wiki. the new instance creation relies on the database definition (us3.sql), all the stored procedures, and the lims code to create a new instance. The way I do it, I become the us3 user and run the update-local.sh script first thing. This will update the us3 user's copy of all of these files from subversion. Then I run the create new instance stuff. If any time you forget to update the code first it's not a terribly big deal. You can do a subversion update of the lims code, and you can update the stored procedures like this: mysql -u user -p database <us3_procedures.sql That file sources all the other sql files. If the us3.sql file was out of date it's a little more difficult, because there are some records that get populated in there as part of the setup process too. However, I believe I have scripts that can be used to refresh that too.
