Migrating OCNA also means importing several new/different cache types ( part of #860 ), some of which have overlapping IDs with opencaching-pl code.
As detailed in the documentation here: https://wiki.opencaching.eu/index.php?title=Cache_types
there are several cache types for which the ID must be changed to ensure uniqueness, which is critical for consistent code and deployment across sites.
The following changes are needed:
While some overlaps are noted with OCDE only, I believe it is best practice to ensure uniqueness overall.
Things needed to be done:
There are a few caches unique to OCNA, but the same queries will also update the contents of their existing caches.
I am studying the database layout and contents, and will attempt to produce SQL queries to make the changes.
I am asking for help for code changes, especially since while searching for places where changes are needed I might miss some.
Once the queries are created, I am also asking for help in deploying the database changes using the new method. This is a small but important change and it changes contents of caches. I desire to proceed with utmost care and being my first time generating a DB change with the new method I am reluctant to do it on this scale.
Thank you.
