Hi, 

I'm trying to reach the text table (for read only purposes), but it seems that I it is not available to me (It is not in the table when I run SHOW TABLES).

Does anybody know why I don't have access and if I can get one? It is crucial for my research as I need to analyse the text.

Thanks,

Neta

yeah, I do have access - Thanks!

I already used ssh, and also used the quarry tool for smaller quick queries. 

Cheers,

Neta

Sorry, old thread, but I wanted to point out that http://quarry.wmflabs.org seems like a good tool for this use case.

Actually, this is a great opportunity to say that I would love to get you guys involved or at least hear insights from the analytics team regarding the project's direction.

Feel free to keep me in the loop for the latter.

Best,
Leila

Here's the instructions that Christian gave with some screenshots and discussion: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Labs2/Getting_started_with_Tool_Labs

If you're just looking to run a few queries, you might consider http://quarry.wmflabs.org which requires no shell access -- just a Wikimedia sites account.

It sounds like the redacted labs databases would nicely fit your use
case. The easiest way to get access there is to apply for Tool Labs [1].

To get access, please file a request through

  https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Tools_Access_Request

(Many parts around the WMF are currently getting migrated to
phabricator.wikimedia.org, so if someone knows a phabricator procedure
for that please chime in!)


Once you've got Tool Labs [1] access you can ssh to

  tools-login.wmflabs.org

and running

  sql enwiki

on that host connects you to labsdb's enwiki database and you can run
your queries there (similar for other wikis).

Have fun,
Christian
