Actually, there is nothing in the database design preventing a double entry in the repository. Only the application is enforcing data integrity.

You notice that the script is deleting the current version of the application stored, in order to avoid such duplicate.

The real repository has a further control, a UNIQUE key on "name" + "vers" (which is defined NOT NULL) + the file CRC calculated before the update, so that duplicates are harder to pass. This rule relies on the assumption that all application versions are incremented automatically at each build.

Add to this that the ones allowed to update this table are all seasoned developers, who are using the same application to update. They are all disciplined and each one is in charge of a different application, so I didn't have a single case of double entries in this paradigm.

Thanks for your comments.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
