Shoechicken Database Completed

Busy day with Shoechicken.

The Shoechicken Database has been committed to the CVS repository, along with the scripts used to create it. The database the Shoechicken project is using is HSQLDB Database. The database in the repository is a skeleton of a complete database. It contains no data, only definitions of the tables. Sad thing is that both James and I constructed the database at the same time today, so there was a bit of overlapping work and some of it was not used (sorry James). The good thing is both James and I got some experience using HSQLDB, which will pay off in the coming weeks of development.

The Shoechicken website has been updated with new documentation on the database. Additionally, some dead links on the site were fixed. The most important update was the addition of the Database Design page under the documentation section. The page should serve as a reference for any designers who need to check the table designs, data types, and contraints used in the database.
