PMDB: a relational database for PubMed

The tar file contains a compressed dump of PMDB, which was created in PostgreSQL 12 using the pmparser R package. Once you have a Postgres server running, you can set up the database as follows: 1. Untar the file containing the database dump, which will create a folder. Substitute &lt;tar_name&gt; with the name of the tar file. <pre><code class="language-bash">tar xvf &lt;tar_name&gt; &amp;&amp; rm &lt;tar_name&gt;</code></pre> 2. Restore the database onto your Postgres server. Below is one way. Replace &lt;...&gt; as appropriate, substituting &lt;dump_name&gt; with the name of the dump folder. This will take some time, so use as many cores as you can spare. Beware the full database is about 113 GiB. <pre><code class="language-bash">createdb -h &lt;host_name&gt; -U &lt;user_name&gt; pmdb pg_restore -j &lt;num_cores&gt; --no-privileges --no-owner -h &lt;host_name&gt; -U &lt;user_name&gt; -d pmdb &lt;dump_name&gt;</code></pre> MEDLINE/PubMed data are courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
