VbzCart/docs/tables/event vc legacy

About

• Purpose: dependent table for integrating other event-logging tables into the EventPlex system
  • This particular table is based on event_log, but could be adapted for importing events from other systems.
• Depends on: sql/event in Ferreteria

Migration

Here's what happens to the various event_log fields:

• ID is renamed to ID_Event (I'm using the same IDs because I can get away with it, thus making it unnecessary to write PHP code for importing)
• Timestamps: see event_done section below
  • WhenStarted -> event.WhenStart
  • WhenFinished -> event_done.WhenFinish
• WhatSQL was never used, so dropped
• Table/Row identifiers: when set, an event_in_table record is created.
  • ModType -> event_in_table.TableKey
  • ModIndex -> event_in_table.TableRow
• EvWhere is unaltered
• Params is unaltered
• Descr -> event.Descrip
• DescrFin -> event_done.Descrip
• Code: "legacy." is prepended, and result used for event.TypeCode
• WhoAdmin is unaltered
• WhoSystem is unaltered
• WhoNetwork is unaltered
• isError is unaltered
• isSevere is unaltered
• isDebug is unaltered
• Notes -> event_notes.Notes

event_done

Some early records have WhenFinished set but not WhenStarted, or DescrFin but not WhenFinished.

• If WhenFinished is set but WhenStarted isn't, WhenFinished values are moved to WhenStarted.
• When WhenStarted and WhenFinished are set, or DescrFin is set, an event_done record is created.
• When DescrFin is set but WhenFinished isn't, then WhenStart is used for WhenFinished.
