Pulldown external surveys

[sjanssen2]

Hi @jwdebelius,
do you know if it was ever possible to pulldown data through labadmin from external surveys like vioscreen?

@sjanssen2 every time that I'm doing the metadata pulldown I'm pulling down the vioscreen data.

Note that this does require some manual introduction of the VioScreen data into the DB before the pulldown (so the data the Jose is pulling down now doesn't include all of the data that exist-i.e. if someone took the survey an hour ago, we had their sample in the lab already, and we pulled down VioScreen data, their survey information would not automatically be included). We are currently working with VioScreen to get functional API setup so that this can be done much more smoothly in the future. Embriette R.

I am aware of those extra steps and that is exactly the reason why it would be a big ease if the test DB from biocore could contain some exemplary data sets of this type.
It looks like the DB also misses examples for all non standard surveys like "Surfer", "Fermented Food", ... that's the reason for my patch 0040.sql (which seems to be not the right technique to add those test data). Thus, your help is really needed here!
