Database Schema

The schema for the database is below. It can also be found in the application is the user has databaseattributes::read permission by going to menu -> Admin : Manage -> Database -> List Database, then clicking on the "attributes" table.

Create Table: CREATE TABLE `attributes` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `org_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
  `resource` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `type` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `name` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `value` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `edited_by` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `edited_date` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '2000-01-01 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=103 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

A typical entry looks as below.

         id: 102
     org_id: 1
   resource: devices
       type: device_type
       name: Wireless Router
      value: wireless router
