Re: [Care2002-developers] suggestion of table change
Hi Muthu, Sorry for my late answer (was out over the weekend and yesterday was public holiday here). I feel sorry that I seem really removed the dump file, it was not the idea. Well, but I am not that happy now about the name of this column now. Thanks for correcting it.

Re: [Care2002-developers] suggestion of table change
Hi Muthu, I am not so sure that it is really a legacy issue. Nearly all hospitals I've visited they have either their own HIS and want to use care2x from a specific point or they use it side-by-side. But in all cases they will continue their numbering format what is always historical based and care2x has to work with it and I do not think that they will change it one day. If it can be NULL in that way I have some doubts, but let see what it will bring for results from the reality. But the indexing of that table is not really funny. Better would be a unique key over pid, alt_pid, the birth date, first name, last name and registration timestamp instead of having index for each column. That could have good benefits when this table will be joined afterwards with other tables (avoiding of full table scans).

Re: [Care2002-developers] suggestion of table change
Hi Robert, The field name can be what you suggested - what I put in was a little generic. I certainly want you to be happy. In case there are hospitals that do not use the alt_pid field, keeping it NULL would allow them to proceed. Attempting to copy into alt_pid the value in pid if alt_pid is NULL would bring in anomalies and clash with similar numbers in the alt_pid that were not NULL in the first place. Hence the UNIQUEness for alt_pid would have to wait till you decide how to use it when alt_pid is absent (multiple NULL alt_pids should be able to exist). What is now in place is just a place holder. Please give it some thought as to how hospitals starting anew entirely in Care2x would be able to use it alongside with hospitals that intend to use Care2x for only a part of their operations whilst relying on their own HIS for others.

Re: [Care2002-developers] suggestion of table change
Hi Muthu, No worry - it is just developer's discussion :-) Here I do have the same issue. A hospital here wants to have our care2x for researches but want to keep their own (historical) HIS up and running. Just for some view forms in a specific department they want link it with care2x that they can do some (complex) customary work. There are some specific issues to be solve but I am lucky to able this kind of transferring the data with an PDI job once a day by a script. ( will send you the pdi pattern if you want and if it would help you ) But exactly what you mention in your mail is the aim we all have. Flexibility and gerneric.
