        Does anyone know how large the (uncompressed) MB database dump is?
      • 2011-02-11 04236, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        Just the core data.
      • 2011-02-11 04209, 2011

      • nikki
        a few gigs I imagine
      • 2011-02-11 04238, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        Less than 10?
      • 2011-02-11 04217, 2011

      • nikki
        should be. the closed edits one is bigger than the rest combined and I think it was about 4 gigs uncompressed
      • 2011-02-11 04239, 2011

      • nikki
        hm, yeah, definitely, everything except the closed edits are about 7 or 8 gigs once imported into postgres, so it must be less
      • 2011-02-11 04256, 2011

      • nikki idly wonders how much space the db indexes take
      • 2011-02-11 04252, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        Okay, so I probably won't need to use a larger external hdd for some little tests.
      • 2011-02-11 04255, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        Thanks.
      • 2011-02-11 04205, 2011

      • nikki wonders what you're up to
      • 2011-02-11 04230, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        I'm wondering myself.
      • 2011-02-11 04252, 2011

      • nikki giggles
      • 2011-02-11 04203, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        :)
      • 2011-02-11 04213, 2011

      • nikki
        so you just woke up today and thought "oh, I know! I'll download the mb data"? :P
      • 2011-02-11 04218, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        Not exactly.
      • 2011-02-11 04228, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        I can't sleep, so I get weird ideas.
      • 2011-02-11 04200, 2011

      • nikki
        ah
      • 2011-02-11 04225, 2011

      • nikki
        to be honest, I don't remember why I originally downloaded the database either. although perhaps that's just because it was so long ago now
      • 2011-02-11 04228, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        Wherever this is going, it may either help with my bachelor thesis or help me fall asleep out of exhaustion.
      • 2011-02-11 04232, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        The uncompressed core data dump is about 2 GiB large.
      • 2011-02-11 04243, 2011

      • KRSCuan
        Compressed: 744 MiB
      • 2011-02-11 04243, 2011

      • nikki
        good to know :)

        would you tag http://tecfan.nitrolinken.net/tm/upload.php/495/I… "Phonotope 1: I." or "Phonotope 1: I. Part I"?
      • 2011-02-11 04210, 2011

      • nikki
        if it's some classical stuff, I wouldn't tag it :P
      • 2011-02-11 04221, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        lol ^^
      • 2011-02-11 04225, 2011

      • nikki
        if it's not, I would have used "Phonotope 1, Part 1"
      • 2011-02-11 04230, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        it is CSG material
      • 2011-02-11 04256, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        so yeah
      • 2011-02-11 04208, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        I don't consider "Part I" to actually be the name of that movement
      • 2011-02-11 04217, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        so I think I will only do Phonotope 1: I."
      • 2011-02-11 04234, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        i'll add the picture in the edit note if anybody disagrees

      • nikki
        did you add anything to the artist?
      • 2011-02-11 04207, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        no
      • 2011-02-11 04214, 2011

      • nikki
        then it will have been deleted

      • 2011-02-11 04228, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, just arrived last night but it is nice for now
      • 2011-02-11 04243, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Hmmm, that sounds a bit weird, but might happen
      • 2011-02-11 04256, 2011

      • reosarevok
        I don't think I've ever left an add page open overnight, so I couldn't say
      • 2011-02-11 04257, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        it might have been a bug with something here of course

        this is not specified in the CSG.
      • 2011-02-11 04207, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        afaik
      • 2011-02-11 04237, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        I will add it as Phonotype 1: I., Phonotype 1: II., Phonotype 1: III.
      • 2011-02-11 04250, 2011

      • Tecfan_work

      • reosarevok
        (same way as we have "performed vocal")
      • 2011-02-11 04253, 2011

      • nikki
        it would be possible

      • 2011-02-11 04227, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        how do you use begin/end date in "label was renamed into label" AR?
      • 2011-02-11 04216, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        it was renamed in year 2005, should I add this anywhere?
      • 2011-02-11 04224, 2011

      • reosarevok
        begin and end date 2005
      • 2011-02-11 04232, 2011

      • reosarevok
        It will say "was renamed into X in 2005"
      • 2011-02-11 04241, 2011

      • nikki would use begin date 2005
      • 2011-02-11 04200, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        for the computer begin date would be best indeed
      • 2011-02-11 04220, 2011

      • 2011-02-11 04239, 2011

        oh there are wiki pages for the ARs :>
      • 2011-02-11 04240, 2011

      • nikki knows at least one label that is wrong then
      • 2011-02-11 04205, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        btw
      • 2011-02-11 04218, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        when I change the label of an release it's done on release level and not release group level right?
      • 2011-02-11 04226, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        there are no label data in group level ?
      • 2011-02-11 04236, 2011

      • nikki
        release groups don't have labels, no
      • 2011-02-11 04252, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        so there is no fancy way of doing it fast on multi-disc releases?
      • 2011-02-11 04258, 2011

      • nikki
        nope :/
      • 2011-02-11 04204, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Not until NGS, at least :p
      • 2011-02-11 04220, 2011

      • nikki
        even then, there's still no batch edit
      • 2011-02-11 04224, 2011

      • nikki could use that...
      • 2011-02-11 04245, 2011

      • nikki
        there are some labels which changed names and we have separate, but everyone else treats as just one
      • 2011-02-11 04247, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Well, there's no batch edit
      • 2011-02-11 04200, 2011

      • nikki
        so everyone just assigns stuff to the wrong one :/
      • 2011-02-11 04201, 2011

      • reosarevok
        But for multi-disc releases, it is one edit :)
      • 2011-02-11 04209, 2011

      • nikki
        there's batch merging, but that's it

      • 2011-02-11 04244, 2011

      • nikki
        it probably depends on the label
      • 2011-02-11 04202, 2011

      • Tecfan_work
        in this label it is just a lack of a standard :p
