7. Demo data and project

QWAT can be tested by downloading the QGS project repository here and restoring the latest data_and_structure_sample.backup in PostgreSQL (+ extension PostGIS and hstore).

On the download page you can find theses backups:

  • qwat_vX.X.X_data_and_structure_sample.backup: Restore the QWAT schema plus the sample dataset

  • qwat_vX.X.X_structure_only.backup: Restore only the QWAT schema only. In addition you’ll also need to restore the value_list_data_only dump

  • qwat_vX.X.X_value_list_data_only.backup: Restore the value list of QWAT demo project

  • qwat_vX.X.X_data_only_sample.backup: Restore the sample dataset (the init_qwat.sh script should be run prior to restoring the sample dataset)

How to install the data sample from the QWAT Water distribution management project.

Create the QWAT database model with roles and restore the latest version:

# Create the database and the extensions
psql -U postgres -c 'create database qwat;'
psql -U postgres -d qwat -c 'create extension postgis;'
psql -U postgres -d qwat -c 'create extension hstore;'

# Create the roles for QWAT
psql -c 'CREATE ROLE qwat_viewer NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;' -U postgres
psql -c 'CREATE ROLE qwat_user NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;' -U postgres
psql -c 'CREATE ROLE qwat_manager NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;' -U postgres
psql -c 'CREATE ROLE qwat_sysadmin NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;' -U postgres

# And restore it into your QWAT database
pg_restore -U postgres --dbname qwat -e --no-owner --verbose --jobs=3 --disable-triggers --port 5432 qwat_dump.backup

You now have the latest data model (with sample data) + database roles.

Create the QWAT service in the .pg_service.conf file

If you already have the service defined you can skip this step, else edit the .pg_service.conf file and make it look like:

[qwat]
#enter your database ip
host=127.0.0.1
#database name
dbname=qwat
port=5432
user=postgres
#you can also add your password if you like
password=YourPassword

[qwat_prod]
#enter your database ip
host=127.0.0.1
#database name
dbname=qwat
port=5432
user=postgres
#you can also add your password if you like
password=YourPassword

Open the qgis project

You can open the qwat.qgs project from the qwat-data-sample directory and you should see this screen:

../_images/qgis.png

Note

You can also try out the latest qwat.qgs project from the QWAT directory. Keep in mind that there there’s a chance that it doesn’t fit the sample data model. This is because the sample data model may be a little older than the latest data model and only the corresponding .qgs project has been matched.
