Jacek, Some thoughts, as I see it: 1) The DRP Coordinator (a person) and/or the DBA create all tables for the DRP results before it starts (using a script based on the agreed-upon pre-defined schema for the DRP). 2) Note that we will have single-sky-tile tables at first which can be dropped (or perhaps kept, if desired) as the main production starts up. 3) The DRP must autonomously ingest data into the existing tables as it progresses. No human intervention should be necessary to do this. 4) If SDQA discovers a problem that requires dropping data and replacing it with new data, the DRP Coordinator and/or the DBA will pause automatic data ingestion while the fix occurs. 5) It's not clear to me that there's a useful distinction between "internally released" and "public release" databases/tables. What do you see as being the differences, and aren't they handled already by things like access rights and network connectivity? 6) It's not clear to me that there's a useful distinction between "L2" and "L3" databases. Aren't these differences also handled by the distributed/non-distributed distinction and access rights? -- Kian-Tat Lim, LSST Data Management, [log in to unmask] ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the QSERV-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=QSERV-L&A=1
