[Chasers-devel] More DB report progress. And script for converting CFG files.

[Kenneth T. <ken...@gm...>]

I've done some more work on DB-based reports.  It keeps some of the old 
clunkiness, but does bring it all into the DB.  I think the current 
version now incorporates all of the functionality of a CFG file.  The 
code updates I've made are mostly self-contained, but there is a new 
report_id field that I added to tbl_report_usage.  I committed a db_mod 
to git, but these were never my strong suit. :)

I've also written a script that will read an existing set of CFG files 
and post them to the DB.  It will preserve an existing report tree 
(shelter, clinical, etc.) by storing the paths in the sortkey field.  
I've tested it pretty carefully with the CFG files Nathan sent me, as 
well as a couple I created, and I think it's pretty solid.  (Solid as in 
working.  I freely confess that it's fairly ugly!)

If anyone at DESC gives this a test run, please post back what the 
results were.  Any feedback on this current implementation--especially 
shortcomings or omissions I might not have caught--would be welcome.  
Thanks.
