We've run into a couple of unforseen problems with the Bibles. Some
|
|||
|
translations use different names for some books. Some translations are
|
|||
|
not english, and so ALL their books have "different" names! So I'm
|
|||
|
rewriting how the Bibles work. We used to have an abbreviations file
|
|||
|
which we'd use when you're doing a Bible search using a book's
|
|||
|
abbreviation, and then the full search version of the Bibles page used
|
|||
|
to use that abbreviations file for it's lookup list.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So now we're making the Bibles self-contained. Each Bible file will
|
|||
|
contain it's own abbreviation table, and instead of doing a text lookup
|
|||
|
on the name of the book in the verses table, we'll get the id of the
|
|||
|
book from the abbreviation table (which has become a fully-fledged book
|
|||
|
table) and use that for the lookup.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So, for those interested, here are the create statements (SQLite) for
|
|||
|
the tables in the new format Bible files.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
| **CREATE** **TABLE** testament (
|
|||
|
| id **INTEGER** **PRIMARY** **KEY** **NOT** **NULL**,
|
|||
|
| name **VARCHAR**\ (30) **NOT** **NULL
|
|||
|
**)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
| **CREATE** **TABLE** book (
|
|||
|
| id **INTEGER** **PRIMARY** **KEY** **NOT** **NULL**,
|
|||
|
| testament\_id **INTEGER** **NOT** **NULL** **DEFAULT** 1,
|
|||
|
| name **VARCHAR**\ (30) **NOT** **NULL**,
|
|||
|
| abbreviation **VARCHAR**\ (5)
|
|||
|
| )
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
| **CREATE** **TABLE** verse (
|
|||
|
| id **INTEGER** **PRIMARY** **KEY** **NOT** **NULL**,
|
|||
|
| book\_id **INTEGER** **NOT** **NULL** **DEFAULT** 1,
|
|||
|
| chapter **INTEGER** **NOT** **NULL** **DEFAULT** 1,
|
|||
|
| verse **INTEGER** **NOT** **NULL** **DEFAULT** 1,
|
|||
|
| text **BLOB
|
|||
|
**)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
What's great about this new format is that if you are Spanish, you can
|
|||
|
have all the names of the books in Spanish! So not only do you get
|
|||
|
openlp.org in Spanish (through the Language interface) but you can also
|
|||
|
have the Bible in Spanish.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Ok, let me get back to openlp.org...
