Ferreteria/sql/user client

About

• Status: design is under construction
• Fields
  • CRC: checksum uniquely identifying user's IP address and browser client software. See notes.
• Notes:
  • For identifying the user, decided to use CRC32 instead of compression because the compressed strings always came out at least as long as the original string. They were probably designed to be effective for rather longer data.
• History:
  • 2009-06-16 Changing name to singular
