Hello, unique IDs to ensure a *high-quality* cannot be achieved. How should the ID be calculated? Experience shows that any attributes of a game can be inconsistent: names, location, date, result and even moves. So the only solution is to have smart duplicate checking. Scid has one 60 times faster than chessbase but the algorithm can be improved to find potential duplicates. If let say 95% of the properties are equal including the moves or if the moves differ only in one move, caused by a wrong input. Smart handling of commented games is another interesting area.

This project dates to the days me and Alex were arguing with Pascal for the need to add unique IDs to games. Pascal said that adding IDs to games would slow Scid too much. Without unique IDs, trying to have a *high-quality* database is way to error-prone to my own taste. If we can design some objective ways to insure quality-control, I could be back in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
