[Rt-devel] Extending the DB Schema

[Stephen Turner]

Hi Joby,

We've shied away from modifying core RT tables - we've ben afraid it would 
make upgrades much more painful. We've extended some tables by using 
attributes instead. You can mod the perl code to make the API look as 
though the attributes are fields in the table.

Good luck,
Steve

Hi Joby,

We've shied away from modifying core RT tables - we've been afraid it would 
make upgrades much more painful. We've extended some tables by using 
attributes instead. You can mod the perl code to make the API look as 
though the attributes are fields in the table.

Another alternative would be a new table...

Good luck,
Steve
