Define exactly what is what #12

Open mrdudz opened 2 years ago

mrdudz commented 2 years ago

One major reoccuring problem with csdb is that there are no clear instructions about what the various things in the db actually are, what belongs where, what doesnt belong into the db at all etc pp. So everyone handles this according to their personal pet theories, resulting in endless discussion and drama. The only way to fix this is to have proper definitions written down which then everyone can refer to and follow.

IMHO this has to be done before even making a db scheme - because this is what tells you what your data actually IS.

I intended for people to open issues defining these specifics as they come up so we could discuss them here.

I've based the current schema on the data available to me and from feedback. Things are still in flux and the design I'm implementing allows changes without much difficulty. I'm not interested in endless discussions or drama either. I just want to keep things moving.
