VbzCart/docs/tables/shop cart line

About

• Purpose: individual items in a shopping cart
• Parent: Template:Vbzcart
• History:
  • 2009-06-16 Changing table name to singular
  • 2009-07-12
    • Tentatively removed all "item presentation" fields -- they belong in Template:Vbzcart
    • Added Seq field
• Fields:
  • Seq: unique incremental sequence number for each line in the cart, for identifying the record in contexts where it is exposed to outside manipulation. This way, URL/form hacking can never affect another cart's lines.

SQL

<section begin=sql /><mysql>DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `shop_cart_line`; CREATE TABLE `shop_cart_line` (

 `ID`          INT          NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

<section end=sql />

Removed

I'm inclined to think that these don't belong here, but rather in Template:Vbzcart: <mysql> /* The remaining fields preserve a record of how the item was presented to the customer, and should be used

at shipping time -- overriding any possible changes to the item's catalog record. */

 `PriceItem`   DECIMAL(9,2) NOT NULL COMMENT "price of item quoted at order time",
 `PriceShItm`  DECIMAL(9,2) NOT NULL COMMENT "per-item shipping quoted for this item at order time",
 `PriceShPkg`  DECIMAL(9,2) NOT NULL COMMENT "per-package shipping quoted for this item at order time",
 `CatNum`      VARCHAR(63)           COMMENT "cat_items.CatNum of item as sold",
 `ID_Title`    INT          NOT NULL COMMENT "cat_titles.ID",
 `DescText`    VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COMMENT "plain-text description of item being ordered (e.g. for emails)",
 `DescHtml`    VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COMMENT "HTML description of item being ordered, for web-page display",
