About

  • Purpose: catalog titles within departments
  • Future: The design of this table will probably change some, as there deprecated fields to be removed (note that the extra complication of using the wiki for data must be balanced against the ease-of-editing and flexibility this allows)
    • Rename Desc to Descr because "Desc" is an SQL keyword
    • Possibly another field specifically for text that appears in the Title's image(s) -- or should that be tied to the Images data?
    • Also possibly another field for an "alt=" description (what the thing actually looks like, in words)
    • ID_License should go with Images (earlier, was thinking this could be tracked as a Topic, but making it image-specific makes more sense -- e.g. a photo of a model wearing a shirt should be licensed differently than the image of the pattern that goes on the shirt)
  • History:
    • 2011-09-28 adding ID_Supp field, making ID_Dept DEFAULT NULL (and optional)
      • The code doesn't know this yet, but it will get fixed as time permits.
      • Once the code is rewritten and any remaining Dept data is migrated to Topics, we can remove ID_Dept.
