Meaning that sections hold categories which in turn hold content articles. For Joomla 1.6, there are now just categories (multi-levelled too) and content articles, so that's one of the new high-profile features. Still years behind other systems, even other Joomla extensions, and one article can still belong to only one category. Joomla 1.0-1.5 uses section-category-content.

For Joomla 1.6, there are now just categories (multi-levelled too) and content articles, so that’s one of the new high-profile features. Still years behind other systems, even other Joomla extensions, and one article can still belong to only one category.

This sin't reflected in the DB. Content links directly to Category. Is this a design consideration?

You did everything fine. But, only your blogs published *after* the date your blog was aggregated get picked up. The “smells” blog, was published *before*, so it was not pulled in. That is why, I was asking you to republish it (new “posted date” will get it aggregated).

Thanks.

A nice link concerning reverse engineering MyISAM schemas:
http://wb.mysql.com/?p=271

It's a plugin that will auto-create relationships, even though these do not exist.

Downside to this is that it will only work with databases that have a clear naming convention for their databases, so Joomla is a no-go, but Nooku developers could find this useful.

The correct URL is supposed to be http://www.torkiljohnsen.com/category/databases…

The article is published there, as far as I can tell.

Your blog is now aggregated and showing up on PlanetMySQL.

But, this post “The Joomla database schema smells” was previously published (before aggregation). Can you republish it (so it gets aggregated)? I think it will be of big interest in the MySQL community too.
