Database Table: csv2_configuration

The csv2_configuration table maintains all the configuration information for CSV2. The only configuration parameneters that are not stored within this table are those which are needed before the database becomes available, eg. the location and credentials of the database itself.

Configuration items are grouped by category. This allows CSV2 processes to read by category only those items that are applicable. A single process may retrieve zero, one, or more categories and may refresh the retrieved values at any time.

Keys:

• category (String(32)):

  A label by which to group related configuration items. Often, the name of the corresponding process is used.

• config_key (String(32)):

  A label identifying a specific configuration item. This value must be unique within the category. When fetched, a reference to this item would be in the form “config.<category>.<config_key>”

Columns:

• config_type (String(16)):

  Is a keyword denoting the type of value. Valid keywords include: str, int, float, etc. When fetched, the config_value is converted to that type of variable.

• config_value (String(128)):

  A string representation of the named configuration value.
