I think we all know who is or who never was a scener, so what are we talking about?

a database property that can only be interpreted by initiated humans is bullshit, totally useless. (and no, i doubt everyone knows all and everyone who wasnt a scener. its not always as obvious as in these cases)

I solved the problem by adding the following trivia info to Andrew Sleigh entry:

Trivia :
not a scener,credited in scene productions

now the property can be interpreted by the uninitiated.

it's still not very useful, because it still can only be interpreted by a human. to the database there is still no difference from a "real" scener. (the point is to avoid having to manually review god knows how many entries in the future... presentation layer usually is a non issue and can be worked around easily)

but who is this database done for ? a human or some Mr. Data Base ? in any case the solution is afew posts above. add a flag(cant see a difference from adding a date of death for instance) to mark the "non-sceners" and the database will be smart enough to know! \o/

please, be serious. by that logic simply having one huge textfield "put your info here" for every scener would be sufficient.

that was a joke mate. but theres no need why the database should know the difference between a scener and a person who was credited in a scene productions. some people would like to know the difference and the trivia info is something a human can comprehend. and if that is absolutely necessary for some db operations(fe. for people who like to see teh true scenerz only and gaps in scene productions credits) a flag is the solution.
