Summary
=======

A set of tools to improve the comfort of using the [Ergast database](http://ergast.com/mrd) - Formula One results database.

Overview
========

The set consists of three tools:

1. [fetcher](fetcher/README.md) - keeps your copy of the DB dump up to date
2. [import](import/README.md) - allows you to import the database with some tweaks and integrity fixes
3. [views](views/README.md) - a collection of useful or interesting database views, aggregating certain statistics

Please refer to specific README files for details on the tools.

Note that all of these work with the Formula One database. I haven't tested them against the Formula E dumps, also provided by Ergast, in any way.

Requirements
============

These tools were developed with Unix systems in mind and are targeted at users who are not afraid of the command line. If you're semi-fluent in database administration, you'll manage.

For specific technical requirements, refer to README files of specific tools.

If you want to contact me about the application, you can drop me a private message on Reddit: /u/emkael (although I know it's not exactly rocket science to work out other means of communication, from the GitHub account alone). I'll do my best to help.

License

lol, idk.

Do: use it, share it, mix it, modify it, analyse it - just leave some attribution.

Don't: sell it?
