# F1-MRD-Database-PSQL
Ergast Formula One Motor Racing Data Database for PostgreSQL
## What is this ?
The Ergast Developer API is an experimental web service which provides
a historical record of motor racing data for non-commercial purposes.
The API provides data for the Formula One series,
from the beginning of the world championships in 1950.
http://ergast.com/mrd/
This repository contains a PostgreSQL database created using the original Ergast database images.

The information in the PostgreSQL dump is current as of the end of the 2023 season.
## The easy way
With the PostgreSQL dump file provided here you will be up and running in no time.
- f1db_dump.sql.bz2
Install PostgreSQL and make sure you can access it, then import the dump and add the constraints.
```
$ psql postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/f1db
$ bzcat f1db_dump.sql.bz2 | psql -h localhost -U username -d f1db -p 5432
$ cat f1db_constraints.sql | psql -h localhost -U username -d f1db -p 5432
```
The dump will try to set the table's owner to scott,
which will most probably fail but that does not matter as the owner will be username.
## Using Docker
```bash
$ docker build -t postgres-f1db .
$ docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 postgres-f1db
```
## The long way
Start with the MySQL dump
http://ergast.com/downloads/f1db.sql.gz
### Install MySQL and import full image
```
$ mysql -u root
mysql> create database f1db
mysql> source f1db.sql
```
### Export from MySQL
```
$ mysqldump -u root -p --compatible=ansi --skip-quote-names --no-data f1db > f1db_schema.sql
```
Edited CREATE TABLE statements for compatibility.
This schema can be found in this repository as [f1db_schema.sql](f1db_schema.sql)
```
$ mysqldump -u root -p --compatible=ansi --skip-quote-names --no-create-info --skip-extended-insert --skip-add-locks --skip-add-drop-table f1db > f1db_data.sql
```
Manually fixed a couple of embedded single quotes (\' -> '') in INSERT statements
### Install PostgreSQL and import
```
$ psql postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/f1db
$ psql -h localhost -U username -d f1db -p 5432 < f1db_schema.sql
$ psql -h localhost -U username -d f1db -p 5432 < f1db_data.sql &> /tmp/output.log
```
### Optionally add extra constraints
```
$ psql -h localhost -U username -d f1db -p 5432 < f1db_constraints.sql
```
