Re: [Bodington-developers] Facility-Resource mapping (was: HelloWorld negotiation)

[Colin T. <col...@ou...>]

I think we need to make a decision before releasing 2.8 whether we're going to keep the mapping 
between the Facility number and Object ID (to use Matthew's terminology).
I think we're at a point where it could be maintained with a little effort, and that will make 
future code more easily understood (downside is that we have to maintain the mapping in future tools.)

The new ones in my Bod installation are:

  type |         table_name
------+-----------------------------
    56 | quick_links
    59 | log_book_section_hierarchy
    60 | log_book_question_hierarchy
   105 | web_auth_user
   106 | sp_auth_user
   300 | peer_mark_papers
   301 | peer_mark_questions
   302 | peer_mark_responses
   303 | peer_mark_results

I'd say that the only one that needs changing is

106 | sp_auth_user
as that's in the Oxford range.

Arguably quick_links should be in either Oxford or UHI's range too...


Would changing sp_auth_user cause anyone any headaches?
