  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
(...) Oya definitely. I didn't mean overwriting one of the existing ones, sorry for the confusion. There are 8 columns now, so the new one would make sense either at 1 (first), 2 (first), or 9 (last). IMHO, it makes the most sense in column 1, but I (...)

  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
Separate column please, don't make me parse it out of an existing one.. that's my opinion. As to what the keys are, I don't care, just as long as they are unique. However, as I have pontificated before, you are right. The primary key should be (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Missing sets uploaded - 1977, 1032, 9604
 
(...) ow, ow, bittersweet! :-) Question: Where is the number 1977 shown? (I don't see it on the scan.) How do we know that the value pack's official number is 1977, in other words? (...) The copyright on 1033 is also (c)1985 then? Do you know if (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.space, lugnet.dacta)
 
  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
(...) Ok, I can stuff those in one of the columns. Are they most helpful in column 1, 2, or 9? --Todd (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
Todd, I guess what several of us want is for those keys (regardless of whether they should be seen by humans or not) to appear in the Pause listings. Many (?) of us use the Pause listings to generate tables in our own databases and then use that for (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
(...) No, the primary keys in that DB haven't changed since they were first created in April of 1998. When the DB is reborn out of its current form and into its new form, the old keys will be obsolete, but there will be a backward compatible (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Re: Unique keys for sets
 
A few minutes ago, I posted: (...) But... hm. A possible problem with documenting the key is that the unique key used in the Pause database appears to change over time. If TLC were to come out with another set numbered 8880, what would the keys be (...) (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
 
  Unique keys for sets
 
Would it possible and reasonable to add a unique key to the Pause database setlists? In effect, to add another column to: (URL) the related lists. I've got a fairly hairy spreadsheet that I use to keep track of my sets. I use the Pause database as a (...) (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

  Missing Information from Db
 
Hi all, I was creating a local db of my collection (which included adding all set information since 1980...right now I don't plan on collecting anything earlier than that) and ran across some missing piece counts that can be found in the current (...)
