lino.modlib.checkdata

Adds functionality for handling data problems.

A data problem is a database integrity problem which is not visible by the DBMS because detecting it requires higher business intelligence. Some data problems can be fixed automatically, others need human interaction.

The application developer writes data checkers, i.e. pieces of code which contain that business intelligence and which are attached to a given model.

Examples of data problems are:

  • lino_xl.lib.countries.models.PlaceChecker

  • lino_xl.lib.beid.mixins.BeIdCardHolderChecker

  • lino_xl.lib.addresses.mixins.AddressOwnerChecker

  • lino.mixins.dupable.DupableChecker

  • lino_welfare.modlib.pcsw.models.SSINChecker

  • lino_welfare.modlib.pcsw.models.ClientCoachingsChecker

  • lino_welfare.modlib.isip.mixins.OverlappingContractsChecker

  • lino_welfare.modlib.dupable_clients.models.SimilarClientsChecker

Users automatically get a button "Update data problems" on objects for which there is at least one checker available.

The application developer can also add a ProblemsByOwner table to the detail_layout of any model.

The default value for this is None, except on a demo site (i.e. which has is_demo_site set to True) where it is "'robin'.
