football.db League Quick Starter Sample - Mauritius Premier League

Create your own datasets in plain text for your own league(s) from scratch and read it all into your SQL database of choice (e.g. SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc.) with a single command e.g.:

$ sportdb build

Let's get started. Follow along these three steps:

• Step 1: Add all leagues
• Step 2: Add all clubs
• Step 3: Add all match fixtures and results
• Let's build. That's it. Done.

Using a file structure like:

mauritius
├── 2014-15                # 2014-15 season folder
|   ├── 1-league-i.txt     #   match fixtures / results - matchdays  1-18 
|   └── 1-league-ii.txt    #                            - matchdays 19-36      
├── leagues.txt            # all leagues
└── clubs.txt              # all clubs

Step 1: Add all leagues

Example - leagues.txt:

= Mauritius =

1  Mauritius Premier League

Note: The datafile starts with the country heading, that is, = ... = and than lists all leagues and cups on its own lines.

Step 2: Add all clubs

Example - clubs.txt:

= Mauritius =

Cercle de Joachim | Cercle de Joachim SC | Joachim
Chamarel | Chamarel SC
Curepipe Starlight | Curepipe SC | Starlight
Entente Boulet Rouge | Entente Boulet Rouge-Riche Mare Rovers
La Cure Sylvester | La Cure
Pamplemousses | Pamplemousses SC
Petite Rivière Noire | Petite Rivière
AS Port-Louis 2000 | ASPL 2000
AS Quatre Bornes | Quatre Bornes
AS Rivière du Rempart | Rivière du Rempart

Note: The datafile again starts with the country heading, that is, = ... = and than lists all clubs on its own lines. Use the pipe (|) to list alternate club names.

Step 3: Add all match fixtures and results

Example - 2014-15/1-league-i.txt:

= Mauritius Premier League 2014/15 =

Matchday 1

  Curepipe Starlight    1-3  Petite Rivière Noire

  AS Port-Louis 2000    5-1  Entente Boulet Rouge
  Chamarel SC           2-3  Cercle de Joachim

  AS Quatre Bornes      1-2  Petite Rivière Noire

...

Let's build. That's it. Done.

Now try in your working folder:

$ sportdb build

This will run the build script and

• setup a new single-file SQLite database e.g. ./sport.db from scratch (zero)
• read in all datasets in plain text

That's it. Try:

$ sqlite3 sport.db

SQLite version 3.7.16
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
