Modular application needing additional columns?

I'm writing an application with PostgreSQL as the database which I would
like to be as modular as possible. It will have various modules, each of
which will have their own database schema. A module with users might
define a user table, but an RPG module would want the user table to have
a column for money. I don't want the users module to know about the RPG
module beforehand, so it can't have the money column. Should the RPG
module subclass the user table and make other modules use its subclass
from now on? Should it just add the column when it's installed? What
have others done?

---------------------------(end of broadcast)---------------------------
TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

Dear All, I have been working with VB.NET for the last 5 months or so as a solo developer for a small business.

Hi all, I'm writing a small web application which searches a database based on a date field, and populates a datagrid control with the results. The datagrid control has selection buttons added to it to view additional details about the selected result (a second database query is triggered). I want this second query to pop up in a new window, the way it would if I used "window.open" in javascript. I've added a function in the

Hi, I'm in the process of conceptualizing a new ASP.NET application. I'm a relative newbie in ASP.NET / .NET in general, so any comments will be greatly appreciated.

What I'm thinking is to provide the following structure: core of the application includes essential...

Hi my job is to migrate our WinForms application to ASP.NET. This app was build very modular so every peace of code can be replaced by another "modul". There are 1 VS-solution with about 60 projects (dll's) in it. Now I have to design a Web-Client modul (actually the web-interface). To maintain the modularity, I thought of making one ASP.NET-Project inside of the solution and create some projects containing Custom Web Controls. Did...

Hi all, I am working on a new asp.net app that I would like to create in "modular" fashion. Each piece will be its own module. Inside each module, data will be reported and additional information will be given. I would like to create some sort of user access security for the data that's reported. Example: the manager can see all of the fields from a table, but the data entry person can only see a few fields when accessing the same...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
