'obstype' column in the 'master' table should be renamed #25

Closed bourque closed 7 years ago

The obstype in the master table of the database contains information about the type of program the observation comes from (e.g. CAL/ACS, GO, etc.). But this could be confused with the OBSTYPE header keyword, values of which are IMAGING, SPECTROSCOPIC, etc.

I think the best solution is to rename the column to something like prop_type, or proposal_type.

Such a change would also affect the query form on the web application.

Not sure why I thought this was still an issue. The column name has already been changed to proposal_type.
