redmine mysql_redmine 自己定义字段mysql表结构

redmine能够创建自己定义字段，我经经常使用它来满足不同的管理需求。如今来解读一下。看看这些自己定义字段是怎样存在mysql表中的。

表issues

用来存放issue的标准字段。

mysql> describe issues;

+----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |

+----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |

| tracker_id | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |

| project_id | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |

| subject | varchar(255) | NO | | | |

| description | text | YES | | NULL | |

| due_date | date | YES | | NULL | |

| category_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | |

| status_id | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |

| assigned_to_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | |

| priority_id | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |

| fixed_version_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | |

| author_id | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |

| lock_version | int(11) | NO | | 0 | |

| created_on | datetime | YES | MUL | NULL | |

| updated_on | datetime | YES | | NULL | |

| start_date | date | YES | | NULL | |

| done_ratio | int(11) | NO | | 0 | |

| estimated_hours | float | YES | | NULL | |

| parent_id | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| root_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | |

| lft | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| rgt | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| is_private | tinyint(1) | NO | | 0 | |

| closed_on | datetime | YES | | NULL | |

| position | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL | |

| remaining_hours | float | YES | | NULL | |

| release_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | |

| story_points | float | YES | | NULL | |

| release_relationship | varchar(255) | NO | MUL | auto | |

+----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

表custom_fields

该表字段都和创建自己定义字段的web页面看到的选择项非常像。

mysql> describe custom_fields;

+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |

+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |

| type | varchar(30) | NO | | | |

| name | varchar(30) | NO | | | |

| field_format | varchar(30) | NO | | | |

| possible_values | text | YES | | NULL | |

| regexp | varchar(255) | YES | | | |

| min_length | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| max_length | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |

| is_required | tinyint(1) | NO | | 0 | |

| is_for_all | tinyint(1) | NO | | 0 | |

| is_filter | tinyint(1) | NO | | 0 | |

| position | int(11) | YES | | 1 | |

| searchable | tinyint(1) | YES | | 0 | |

| default_value | text | YES | | NULL | |

| editable | tinyint(1) | YES | | 1 | |

| visible | tinyint(1) | NO | | 1 | |

| multiple | tinyint(1) | YES | | 0 | |

| format_store | text | YES | | NULL | |

| description | text | YES | | NULL | |

+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

表custom_values

mysql> describe custom_values;

+-----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |

+-----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |

| customized_type | varchar(30) | NO | MUL | | |

| customized_id | int(11) | NO | | 0 | |

| custom_field_id | int(11) | NO | MUL | 0 | |

| value | text | YES | | NULL | |

+-----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

该表能够用custom_field_id字段和custom_fields表的id关联。

而customized_id 能够和issues表的id相关联

因此三个表issues, custom_fields和custom_values在一起表达了这么个关系。

一个issue的标准字段来自issues表，扩展字段来自custom_fields表。而custom_values和前custom_fields表关联，一起表示一个issue的某个自己定义字段的值。

而且。当表示issue的自己定义字段时，custom_fields.type的值是 'IssueCustomField' 而custom_values.customized_type的值是'Issue'.

全部issue的自己定义字段值

因此能够先将custom_fields表和custom_values表关联，获得例如以下结果：

mysql> select customized_id as issue_id,custom_field_id,type,name,default_value,value from custom_fields a inner join custom_values b on a.id =b.custom_field_id and a.type = 'IssueCustomField' and b.customized_type='Issue' limit 2;

+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------------+---------------+------------+

| issue_id | custom_field_id | type | name | default_value | value |

+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------------+---------------+------------+

| 1771 | 7 | IssueCustomField | 发现日期 | | 2014-06-01 |

| 1772 | 7 | IssueCustomField | 发现日期 | | 2014-06-15 |

+----------+-----------------+------------------+--------------+---------------+------------+

2 rows in set (0.06 sec)

通常这个表都会非常大。我的系统里面有22个自己定义字段。同一时候有500多个issue，每一个issue最多会有22个行表示其自己定义字段的值。

因此全部issue的自己定义字段的值的累计行数超过1万行。

由此能够看出redmine的设计是用记录行数来表示扩展字段的值。所以能够不受mysql表字段的限制。
