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:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: SQL
|
||
|
||
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...
