Bug 2065: colons in sequence names become :  This does not address
the problem sufficiently in the future, but it does address the problem
for existing data.

   77: 
   78: Use lonnavmaps to build a data structure describing the order and 
   79: assessment contents of each sequence in the current course.
   80: 
   81: The returned structure is a hash reference.

   90:   contents     => [........]       # only for container
   91: }
   92: 
   93: $hash->{'contents'} is a reference to an array of hashes of the same structure.
   94: 
   95: Also returned are array references to the sequences and assessments contained
   96: in the course.

  334: =head1 LOCAL DATA CACHING SUBROUTINES
  335: 
  336: The local caching is done using MySQL.  There is no fall-back implementation
  337: if MySQL is not running.
  338: 
  339: The programmers interface is to call &get_current_state() or some other
  340: primary interface subroutine (described below).  The internals of this 
  341: storage system are documented here.
  342: 
  343: There are six tables used to store student performance data (the results of
  344: a dumpcurrent).  Each of these tables is created in MySQL with a name of
  345: $courseid_*****, where ***** is 'symb', 'part', or whatever is appropriate 
  346: for the table.  The tables and their purposes are described below.
  347: 
  348: Some notes before we get started.
  349: 
  350: Each table must have a PRIMARY KEY, which is a column or set of columns which
  351: will serve to uniquely identify a row of data.  NULL is not allowed!
  352: 
  353: INDEXes work best on integer data.
  354: 
  355: JOIN is used to combine data from many tables into one output.
  356: 
  357: lonmysql.pm is used for some of the interface, specifically the table creation
  358: calls.  The inserts are done in bulk by directly calling the database handler.
  359: The SELECT ... JOIN statement used to retrieve the data does not have an
  360: interface in lonmysql.pm and I shudder at the thought of writing one.
  361: 
  362: =head3 Table Descriptions
  363: 
  364: =over 4
  365: 
  366: =item $symb_table
  367: 
  368: The symb_table has two columns.  The first is a 'symb_id' and the second
  369: is the text name for the 'symb' (limited to 64k).  The 'symb_id' is generated
  370: automatically by MySQL so inserts should be done on this table with an
  371: empty first element.  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on the 'symb_id'.
  372: 
  373: =item $part_table
  374: 
  375: The part_table has two columns.  The first is a 'part_id' and the second
  376: is the text name for the 'part' (limited to 100 characters).  The 'part_id' is
  377: generated automatically by MySQL so inserts should be done on this table with
  378: an empty first element.  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on the 'part' (100
  379: characters) and a KEY on 'part_id'.
  380: 
  381: =item $student_table
  382: 
  383: The student_table has two columns.  The first is a 'student_id' and the second
  384: is the text description of the 'student' (typically username:domain) (less
  385: than 100 characters).  The 'student_id' is automatically generated by MySQL.
  386: The use of the name 'student_id' is loaded, I know, but this ID is used ONLY 
  387: internally to the MySQL database and is not the same as the students ID 
  388: (stored in the students environment).  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on the
  389: 'student' (100 characters).
  390: 
  391: =item $updatetime_table
  392: 
  393: The updatetime_table has two columns.  The first is 'student' (100 characters,
  394: typically username:domain).  The second is 'updatetime', which is an unsigned
  395: integer, NOT a MySQL date.  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on 'student' (100
  396: characters).
  397: 
  398: =item $performance_table
  399: 
  400: The performance_table has 9 columns.  The first three are 'symb_id', 
  401: 'student_id', and 'part_id'.  These comprise the PRIMARY KEY for this table
  402: and are directly related to the $symb_table, $student_table, and $part_table
  403: described above.  MySQL does better indexing on numeric items than text,
  404: so we use these three "index tables".  The remaining columns are
  405: 'solved', 'tries', 'awarded', 'award', 'awarddetail', and 'timestamp'.
  406: These are either the MySQL type TINYTEXT or various integers ('tries' and 
  407: 'timestamp').  This table has KEYs of 'student_id' and 'symb_id'.
  408: For use of this table, see the functions described below.
  409: 
  410: =item $parameters_table
  411: 
  412: The parameters_table holds the data that does not fit neatly into the
  413: performance_table.  The parameters table has four columns: 'symb_id',
  414: 'student_id', 'parameter', and 'value'.  'symb_id', 'student_id', and
  415: 'parameter' comprise the PRIMARY KEY for this table.  'parameter' is 
  416: limited to 255 characters.  'value' is limited to 64k characters.

  887: it into the MySQL database.  The inserts are done on two tables, 
  888: $performance_table and $parameters_table.  $parameters_table holds the data 
  889: that is not included in $performance_table.  See the description of 
  890: $performance_table elsewhere in this file.  The INSERT calls are made
  891: directly by this subroutine, not through lonmysql because we do a 'bulk'
  892: insert which takes advantage of MySQLs non-SQL compliant INSERT command to 
  893: insert multiple rows at a time.  If anything has gone wrong during this
  894: process, $returnstatus is updated with a description of the error and
  895: \%student_data is returned.

  897: Notice we do not insert the data and immediately query it.  This means it
  898: is possible for there to be data returned this first time that is not 
  899: available the second time.  CYA.
