[Koha-devel] RFC: Koha 3.2: Koha E-R diagrams and tables information

[Matteo Romanello]

Dear all,
I'm quite new to the list.
A month ago I started working supervised by Zeno Tajoli (CILEA, Italy)  
on the task of providing some new documentation to Koha 3.0 DB.

The main problem I'm facing now is how to ensure the persistence of  
descriptions and other information on tables and columns despite, for  
example, name changes over different releases of Koha.

A likely solution is supposed to be the use of opaque identifiers  
along with a mechanism capable  of parsing the perl script which  
updates the db and of capturing information concerned with changes of  
the db structure itself.

I'll write hopefully soon to ask for some feedback and/or help!
Thanks

Matteo Romanello
