[Using Sakai] Using SAKAI Course sites

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Igor,

Could you explain exactly what you are trying to achieve?

It should not be necessary to understand the database tables in order to use Sakai. And it is not a good idea to populate them directly yourself, that is what the application is for. Are you trying to integrate with your Student Information System? If so, which one? 

Cheers,
Neal

> 1.      Table CM_MEETING_T. It looks like, that this table is not used un the current versions. In any case it stays empty in our installation. From the other side we don’t understand where the information about the sections (such as Meeting Details, Section Size etc.) is saved. If I add some sections the information is saved, but I don’t know where.
> 2.      CM_OFFICIAL_INSTRUCTORS_T What for is this table? It is not used in SAKORA, so I don’t understand what the Official Instructor means.
> 3.      CM_COURSE_SET_CANON_ASSOC_T- I understand the sense of this table, but it looks like that it is not really used. If I make the inputs in the tables manually and leave this table empty, everything works without it.
> 4.      CM_CROSS_LISTING_T- What is it?
> 5.      CM_ENROLLMENT_SET_T- As I understand, this table is used do manage different categories of the studies (lecture, practice, laboratory, etc.). For a course offering different categories of studies are defined here. After it the students are connected to this categories of the studies via the table CM_ENROLLMENT_T. Is it correct?
