About

  • Version: Copied, with only slight changes, from the event table in VbzCart (which later became part of Ferreteria's event-logging system which has since been redesigned). This version is suitable for re-use in other projects, but perhaps should be renamed EventLog or Events because the MySQL syntax highlighter thinks "log" is a keyword.
    • 2009-08-30: suggest LogEvent ("Log" as prefix so all log tables are together, type of log as singular)
  • Fields:
    • isError: FALSE = this is just a message or normal event; TRUE = there is a problem to fix (error)
  • Notes
    • Have to use "Ev" prefix for field names that would otherwise be keywords: When, Where
    • "Code" doesn't seem to be getting any use, but leaving it in for now
  • History:
    • 2010-03-31 Making changes based on changes to VbzCart/tables/event log, since those seem to be working well:
      • renaming table: "Event Log" -> "event"
      • EvWhen -> WhenStarted, WhenFinished
      • AppUser -> WhoAdmin, SysUser -> WhoSystem, Machine -> WhoNetwork
