CS194 Final Project

We have postgres instance set up at stantron2.stanford.edu.

To log, install psql and run

psql -d energy_portal -U energy_portal -h stantron2.stanford.edu

There is a script data/psql.sh as a shortcut for this command.

To avoid the password prompt, add the following line to the file $HOME/.pgpass, where ***** is the password.

stantron2.stanford.edu:5432:energy_portal:energy_portal:*********

Use snake case (lower case with underscores) for everything in the database.

Make field names that are unique to a dataset globally unique, and use the same name everywhere for foreign keys so that we can easily do natural joins without any headaches.
