VbzCart/tables/cache flow

About

• Purpose: Keeps track of data dependencies between tables – which queries update cached data in which tables from which sources
• Used by :

1. REDIRECT Template:l/vc/query

• Refers to: cache_tables, cache_queries
• Fields:
  • doWrite: TRUE = ID_Table is written to (i.e. TARGET table); otherwise it is only read from (SOURCE).
• Notes:
  • If it turns out that some tables are both read and written, then we might want a doRead field as well.
• History:
  • 2010-11-09 Renamed data_flow -> cache_flow; ID_Proc -> ID_Query
  • 2010-11-13 Significant revision: ID_Srce/ID_Dest replaced by ID_Table/doWrite
