I think that the DB schema is a part of the implementation. The server
implementation may need to define a DB schema, if it will be using an RDBMS,
or it might want to use a VFS driver to store the data on an encrypted stripe
set of floppies. Either way, I care not. The real issue is what data are we
trying to collect? What are the valid attributes of a track? What attributes
are required, which are optional, and which will be rejected?
I made a post yesterday with "RFC" in the subject. I believe it was archived.
Cheers, etc.
