BUGS FOR BONES
Heres the scoop:
The original alacrity database tables are very old. So old, they dont convert very well to mode
databases. They had a lot of bugs in their definitions, but the former database was very forgiving, and like many things in alacrity resorted to 'this is the probably what you are looking for/trying to do' logic as opposed to 'this is what you are looking for or trying to do'
When we transferred, I decided to flip it live and track down bugs rather than test set live after fixing, b/c there are 150 tables, each having 50-150 columns each, that tracking them down 1 by 1 would have taken months, and even then it would have required a full audit, and probably would have missed many of the esoteric ones to begin with!
Transferring the data to a mode
system enforced a lot of error checking on the system that wasnt being done before. While I fixed as much as possible, Alacrity is a large project even by todays standards.
So , lets work to squash old bugs and new!
- 1 Bone shall be rewarded for each bug discovered!
- secondary discoveries not yet posted to this thread will be awarded 25,000 alacrity cash
- if it is a very esoteric or hard to notice bug, we shall reward more at our discretion.
- These bugs may be new and related to the database changeover, or old and existing.
- Bugs are paid in the order received, here, in issue hub or in mine or bobbies inbox
Discoveries (once listed here or in below in the thread) no more awards will be granted for it
