        Gentlecat: Hm. I hid one of the releases at https://critiquebrainz.org/user/48f2a23c-90e5-4c3… but I now realise that maybe it was actually attached to the proper RG originally but the RG has since gone (merge, deletion). I'm not sure if there's currently any way to handle that, or what I'd prefer of means to deal with it.

        My thinking is to stick with the current schema and add constraints that will ensure integrity.

        Leftmost: I hate the current schema for relationships

        it's too complicated

        Unless we can come up with something completely new, it's going to be complex. The alternatives we've discussed just shift where that complexity is, and I think the tradeoffs end up being worse.

        Ultimately, I'm guessing we're going to end up with complexity, because it's a complex problem.

        What are your objections to the EntityLink -> EntityLinkRevision -> RelationshipSet -> Relationships system?
      • 2016-01-11 01130, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        I don't think that the fact it's a separate versioning system is a problem
      • 2016-01-11 01134, 2016

      • Leftmost
        I do.
      • 2016-01-11 01106, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        Why?
      • 2016-01-11 01119, 2016

        For one thing, as I mentioned previously, we lose the holistic view of an entity at a given revision. For another thing, it reintroduces the problem of creating revisions for merging entities. I think it also makes it harder to understand revision graphs, it treats what the user sees as a single act of editing as multiple revisions (which I don't think is appropriate with our schema), etc.

        I feel like it just complicates the overall picture instead of keeping the complexity local.

        "we lose the holistic view of an entity at a given revision." ← I think this is a pretty big one, IMHO.

      • LordSputnik
        OK, I've just been looking around, and it looks like my issue with (revision_id, bbid) PKs isn't such an issue after all - PG will allow us to have a separate index on the revision_id column, so that's fine
      • 2016-01-11 01141, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        So we could do one revision and update the entity data in a single revision
      • 2016-01-11 01159, 2016

      • Leftmost
        Hmm. What was the problem with (revision_id, bbid) without a separate index on revision_id? I thought postgres would be able to use the tuple when searching by revision_id alone.
      • 2016-01-11 01146, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        Well, it's presumably faster if we have an index on revision_id as well as (revision_id, bbid) when we want to query by revision_id alone

        reosarevok: It wasn’t fixed or got unfixed later, but having the CORS headers won’t help anyway because the CAA is all about redirects.

        Leftmost: OK, so that solves how we do the revision stuff, but I'd like to still have 2 entities per relationship set though
