What

I added in 3 new fields to the courses table based on the updated dump: Prerequisites, Typically Offered, and Contact Hours. I updated scripts and other files to handle the 3 new fields and perform the necessary migrations to handle them.

I also had to update the build script to get around some outdated requirements.

Why

I am working on a website (https://flowchartmaker.cs.house/) that accesses the course information in the ScheduleMaker database. I pull course data when a class is clicked. I wanted to display the 3 new fields in my course information popup, so the ScheduleMaker database had to be updated.

Test Plan

I created my own database and replicated ScheduleMaker by generating tables and procedures with the scripts given in the repo. I ran the website locally and had the website process the test data dump that RIT gave us. I made sure my migration and data parsing worked.

Env Vars

I only changed such variables locally and have not pushed any of them.

Documentation

I updated the documentation under one function, but that was the only place I found that needed comment updating.

Checklist

  • Tested all changes locally

Do not modify existing migrations
Instead add new migrations which add the new field to the various structures created in the existing migrations

I removed my changes to the existing migration file. I still have my new migration file. I believe that fixed what you wanted.
