Ultimate Debian Database (UDD) gathers a lot of data about various aspects of Debian in the same SQL database. It allows users to easily access and combine all these data.

• Some example queries are provided as CGI scripts, to make it easy for everyone to run them. You can browse them or view the source code.

• Database schema: http://udd.debian.org/schema/

• Source code: available in the git repository of the collab-qa project at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-qa/udd.git;a=summary

• Database server: runs on postgres with plperl and postgresql-debversion

• UDD-based services:

  • Bugs Search: multi-criteria search engine for bugs

  • Debian Maintainer Dashboard

  • Bugs Usertags: search for usertag on bugs

  • Sponsors Stats gives some statistics about who is sponsoring uploads to Debian

Connecting to and using UDD

udd.debian.org is running on ullmann.debian.org. It accepts direct SSLed connections from quantz (qa) and wagner (alioth).

• command-line:

  • psql service=udd

  • or: psql -U guest -h udd.debian.org -p 5452 udd

• Python:

  import psycopg2
  conn = psycopg2.connect(host="udd.debian.org",port=5452,user="guest",database="udd")
  cursor = conn.cursor()
  cursor.execute("SELECT count(*) from sources where release='sid'")
  print cursor.fetchall()[0][0]

• Ruby (DBI): require 'dbi' ; dbh = DBI::connect('DBI:Pg:dbname=udd;port=5452;host=udd.debian.org', 'guest') 

• Ruby (PG): require 'pg'; conn = PG.connect({:host => 'udd.debian.org', :port => 5452, :user => 'guest', :dbname => 'udd'}) 

Improving UDD

If you want to help improve UDD, you can set up your own instance as described on UltimateDebianDatabase/Hacking. You can <b>report bugs</b> against the qa.debian.org pseudo-package,

• using the udd usertag and user qa.debian.org@packages.debian.org.
