Extending the Schema
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
While the core Rattail schema provides "most" tables you may need, it is quite
|
|
common for an app to need yet more tables to satisfy its features.
|
|
|
|
Extending the schema really just means, you can add extra tables as needed, and
|
|
modify the schema for each of those going forward. The core tables provided by
|
|
Rattail schema should never be directly modified, but your extra tables are
|
|
fair game.
|
|
|
|
It is important that you name all extra tables with a prefix unique to your
|
|
app, e.g. ``poser_product`` for a product extension table, or ``poser_widget``
|
|
for a totally custom table. Avoid prefix-less names like ``widget`` because
|
|
Rattail reserves the prefix-less namespace for its core schema. Also, certain
|
|
integration packages reserve other namespaces (e.g. ``corepos_`` prefix is used
|
|
by the rattail-corepos package for extension tables it provides).
