Design Document For DRAFT1846

Introduction

DRAFT1846 has been designed to look and feel as much like BOARD18 as possible.

This means that a couple of the sections of the BOARD18 design document can be applied, for the most part, directly to DRAFT1846.

These sections are:

• Environment
• Esthetics

The diagram to the right shows the general control flow between the DRAFT1846 components.

Database Structure

The DRAFT1846 database is structured as follows:

 
mysql> show columns from draft_table;
+---------------+------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| Field         | Type             | Null | Key | Default           | Extra                       |
+---------------+------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| draft_id      | int(11) unsigned | NO   | PRI | NULL              | auto_increment              |
| draft         | text             | YES  |     | NULL              |                             |
| activity_date | timestamp        | NO   |     | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP |
