In https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/mailman/message/37225443/ Nagy
Gabor asked:
Is it possible to tell Roundup to enforce the uniqueness of more
than one property of a class?
Implement this adding a "unique=BOOLEAN" argument to __init__ of
the _Type class in roundup/hyperdb.py.
In rdbms backends it should add a unique constraint to the column.
In non-rdbms (anydb or other) it will need to execute code to
force constraint to be unique.
Does this make sense for all types?
String (original use case) - yes, "foreign key" to another
database somewhere, unique alternate name...
Date - maybe, how useful is a unique date? Checking that a
date+interval doesn't overlap any other date+interval is
more useful (e.g. 1 patient for the 2021-10-14 09:00-09:15
timeperiod). Could be useful is only a date (no time) is used.
Link(_Pointer) - maybe, enforce unique relation (e.g. a chassis
uses only one inventory number, a second chassis can't
claim the same part). Allow only one issue in a particular
state. E.G. Only one issue/workorder can be in the paint shop
"state" at a time.
MultiLink(_Pointer)- maybe, don't have a use case.
Number - yes, unique order if you want to include real values.
Integer - yes, require unique order value for items
Password - no, even the same password will have different salts
so every duplicate password will hash as a different value.
Interval - no, I think this is useful only with a start date
(see discussion on Date above).
Boolean - no, only two values so how useful is this
Computed (experimental property not in trunk a this time) - no,
points to a function
Currently this can be implemented using an auditor. See the mailing
list discussion for details.
