VbzCart/docs/tables/cust cards

About

• Purpose: for recording the information necessary to get paid with credit/debit cards

Fields

• WhenInvalid: if NOT NULL, then this number has been permanently destroyed/deactivated; any use of this number is therefore suspicious. Date is the earliest date it was known to be bad. Overrides isActive.
• Address may be no longer necessary, except for handling legacy data
• CardSafe: human-readable (and searchable) summary of "safe" card data. Format subject to change.

History

• 2009-07-09 moved to separate wiki page; no design changes
• 2009-10-07
• 2011-11-22 added WhenEnt and WhenUpd fields
  • removed CryptAddr, renamed CryptCard as Encrypted
  • added ID_Name
• 2013-09-01 added CardSafe

Future

• Address should go away, probably without any need to verify that ID_Addr agrees with it
• Records with OwnerName need to have ID_Name set, and then the OwnerName field can be removed
• isActive should eventually go away; probably the best thing is to wait until all isActive=FALSE cards have expired (end of Feb 2010), then set WhenInvalid to each card's expiry date.
