Greetings, Currently, MessageRead is used in the messages domain to indicate a message has been read, that is, it's not new. Together with the help and support of TAsn, we decided to change it to New. Couple of advantages in the new naming:
1. Most of the messages in the database are read, so keeping MessageRead will mean we keep this field for every message in the database, while keeping New means we'll only keep it for the fraction of unread messages we have. I used the same method in the calls domain for that exact same reason. 2. New is a more generic and nice name that also applies naturally to outgoing messages, outgoing messages are New, and sent messages are not. 3. This also makes querying for Unread messages easier as currently we have to check if MessageRead = 0 or MessageRead doesn't exist, this will make it easier. Of course we'll change the code to do it automatically. It will use this new naming for any future messages, but will also fix the old database automatically. -- Tom / daniele_athome _______________________________________________ Shr-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-devel
