Project and Class Tonight

An exciting night...the reveal of your projects. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. Christine Huyber from the Biomechnics Lab will be visiting as we discussed to tell you a little more about their lab and get a first look at your results. See you all soon.

Condition table question

We have a question about the Condition table. We noticed that in the old "spreadsheet" version of the data, there are 8 Condition columns. Which of the following does this mean?

1. A patient can have multiple conditions simultaneously

2. A patient can have one condition at a time and we are simply keeping track of the history

We just wanted to clear this up because it doesn't really make sense for a patient to for example be both "stable" and "critical" at the same time.

If it is option 2, should we have functionality in the UI to see a history of conditions with an associated date for each patient? Or leave this for future work?

mySQL server setup tips

To "make the connection" between mySQL and Razor you need to download mySQL server (I am using 5.5) and install it. Configure your instance of MySQL using the menu option (in the start menu under MySQL, MySQL server 5.5, Server Instance Config Wizard.

Here are some oif the options I used:
Detailed configuration
Developer Machine
Non-Transactional Database Only
Manual Setting
Concurrent connections: 15
Enable TCP/IP Networking
Port Number 3306
Enable Strict Mode
Standard Character Set
Check Include Bin Directory in Windows PATH
****This next step is important***
Modify Security Settings
Current root password:  - this should be left blank
New root password:  if you wish to set a password for the "root" user ID enter it here
Confirm: Re-enter the password if you entered a new root password
Execute - Make sure the Start Service on this steps completes successfully

Once this is done you can install razor and make the connection to the MySQL server instance you just configured.
