Thread: Double listing training courses
I see there is one company that appears to have deliberately listed its courses twice (same title, same dates, same location etc). Can somebody request that they de-list one or both of the duplicates in each case? This is getting silly. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com

Actually in looking at the entries a lot of them came approximately 4 days apart. What I think is happening is that either two people from the same place are doing the entries (and not talking to each other) or someone is getting impatient with how long it takes us to approve the events.

In the future, please be specific on company, date, and location... looking
through the list I only noticed 2 duplicates. I have disabled then for now
(we can delete them if everyone is ok with that)

I don't understand why event_location is a seperate table from event. The only
advantage I can see is if we expect to have a single event take place in more
than one location, which we don't really support anyway. I'd rather fold that
into a single event table and put a unique key on company, date, location,
and training. Thoughts?

If its at a different time/location then its a separate event. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com
