This repoisitory contains a simple DataJoint schema to help new users learn the basics of DataJoint.

Instructions

Set up the database server

• Install MySQL Server

• Create a user account that has privileges to create schemas and tables.

  Note: do not use your secret password since it will be entered in plain text.

Configure the DataJoint library for MATLAB

• Clone the mym library repository

    git clone git://github.com/datajoint/mym.git
  

• Clone the DataJoint Git repository:

    git clone git://github.com/datajoint/datajoint-matlab.git
  

Configure the example schema

• Clone the Git repository for the example schema:

    git clone git://github.com/datajoint/example.git
  

• Download the database dump file from https://github.com/downloads/datajoint/example/dj_example.mat

• Start Matlab and navigate to the root directory of the example repository. Edit settings_template.m, fill in the necessary information, and save it as settings.m

• Run the following commands:

    startup()
    setup()
    restore('/path/to/dumpfile/dj_example.mat')
  

• Plot the entity relationship diagram (ERD) by typing

    erd example
  

You should see the following diagram, which depicts the objects in the schema and their dependencies, directed top-to-bottom.
