HOW-TO enable 'elementID' support for a given offline table

Let's see how elementID support could be added on example of "[bemc|bprs|bsmde|bsmdp]Map" tables.

1. Lets' try [bemc|bprs]Map table first:

1.1 Create table 'TowerIDs' (4800 channels)

CREATE TABLE TowerIDs (
  ID smallint(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  elementID int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  Tower int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  KEY ID (ID),
  KEY Tower (Tower)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

1.2 Fill this table with values (spanning from 1 to [maximum number of rows]):

INSERT INTO TowerIDs VALUES (1,1,1);
INSERT INTO TowerIDs VALUES (2,2,2);
INSERT INTO TowerIDs VALUES (3,3,3);
...
INSERT INTO TowerIDs VALUES (4800,4800,4800);

Sample bash script to generate ids

#!/bin/sh

echo "USE Calibrations_emc;"
for ((i=1;i<=4800;i+=1)); do
echo "INSERT INTO TowerIDs VALUES ($i,$i,$i);"
done
for ((i=1;i<=18000;i+=1)); do
echo "INSERT INTO SmdIDs VALUES ($i,$i,$i);"
done

1.3 Update 'Nodes' table to make it aware of new index :

UPDATE Nodes SET Nodes.indexName = 'Tower' WHERE Nodes.structName = 'bemcMap';
UPDATE Nodes SET Nodes.indexName = 'Tower' WHERE Nodes.structName = 'bprsMap';

2. Now, smdChannelIDs (18000 channels)

1.1 Create db index table:

CREATE TABLE SmdIDs (
  ID smallint(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  elementID int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  Smd int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  KEY ID (ID),
  KEY Smd (Smd)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

1.2 Fill this table with values:

INSERT INTO SmdIDs VALUES (1,1,1);
INSERT INTO SmdIDs VALUES (2,2,2);
INSERT INTO SmdIDs VALUES (3,3,3);
...
INSERT INTO SmdIDs VALUES (18000,18000,18000);

(see helper bash script above)

 1.3 Update 'Nodes' to make it aware of additional index :

UPDATE Nodes SET Nodes.indexName = 'Smd' WHERE Nodes.structName = 'bsmdeMap';
UPDATE Nodes SET Nodes.indexName = 'Smd' WHERE Nodes.structName = 'bsmdpMap';

 LAST STEP: Simple root4star macro to check that everything is working fine ( courtesy of Adam Kocoloski ): 

{   gROOT->Macro("LoadLogger.C");
   gROOT->Macro("loadMuDst.C");
   gSystem->Load("StDbBroker");
   gSystem->Load("St_db_Maker");
   St_db_Maker dbMk("StarDb", "MySQL:StarDb");
 //  dbMk.SetDebug(10); // Could be enabled to see full debug output
   dbMk.SetDateTime(20300101, 0);
   dbMk.Init();
   dbMk.GetInputDB("Calibrations/emc/y3bemc");
   dbMk.GetInputDB("Calibrations/emc/map");
}
