<RANT>

I am *VERY* concerned about people performance. To wit:

Hi Rick - I'm thankful for your rant. Not only do I agree that we're suffering from some technical debt that makes contributions more difficult, time consuming, and laborious, but I see notes like yours as more of a motivational encouragement than a repetition of old arguments. I try to make my new code better than what came before it, and to make some of the surrounding code a little better, too. I hope you do the same and to help me and others improve.

[SNIP]

Thanks Andrew for taking the time to move my <RANT> forwards to suggestions for some positive action. That is of course what we need here.

I am taking onboard all of your recommendations ... one could become *very* busy dipping into all of these pies. I'll see what fits my spare time and "esprit".

And I haven't forgotten about your ORM work and suggestions. I just have to get that darn perl modules installed in a clean install of Koha, which takes finding a spare (virtual) host somewhere.

Hrrmmm ... this brings up another topic: Koha dev environments. But I'll leave that for another posting.

cheers rickw

yes.. version 2.2.x and no we still using 2.2.x as framework.

yes on version 2.2.x we have multiple KOHA installation (perl code shared).

Given that you *cannot* create invalid FK relationships in the database, I don't see how anything could fail using FK constraints. They are a Good Thing (tm) and are required to avoid orphaned child records amongst many other things.

I know what is a FK done for, Rick (and in fact I'm the author of most of the FK in the DB atm ;-) ) What is a shame is that the librarian can enter something, enter "OK", and ... see nothing ... the value hasn't be added due to a FK error, and nothing on the browser : everything seems OK ! Quite annoying for the librarian !

We can't ask the librarian to look in error.log ! So we need to display something on the browser, like "Oups, something goes wrong. Ask the Koha team and specify the following problem : "FK contraint at xxxxx.pm, line YYY, koha version X.XX.XX.XXX" "

Fortunatly, those errors are very uncommon, and I think I've seen them occuring only when a part of the DB has been entered through SQL insert & not the browser. But we should trap that anyway ! (as we should trap any SQL error)
