Updating Database

I had a few hours between meetings and classes: just enough time to add a new table to the database. It stores information about institutions and will be part of the new author and new resource screens.

I also “fixed” the delete publisher, delete periodical, etc. screens to that they now delete the item as well as the resource associated with this. This is how it SHOULD work so you don’t end up with a resource assigned to a non-existent publisher or periodical. But it is also very scary and I’m wondering if it should just delete the publisher or periodical and then leave it up to the user to edit the resource and pick a different publisher.

I’ve been using the database pretty regularly and have a nice stash of resources, quotes and notes. I’m keeping a list of stuff to fix that ranges from making longer text fields for data entry to how to change the page title that shows up as Login to Noter on every page, and finishing up the edit resource page. OR I may just take the time to create separate book and journal data entry pages.
