[ckan-dev] questions about datastore_create and datastore_search

Sat Apr 27 09:01:40 UTC 2013

Hi,

The name of the datastore tables is exactly the id of the CKAN resource that the datastore table belongs to. A datastore table cannot exist on its own. Yes, the names are ugly which is why we added aliases. You can add an arbitrary number of aliases to a table using the `resource_create` [1] action (you can also edit existing tables with this action). There is a section in the docs about aliases at [2].

Does this also answer your question from the other email? I don't know why you do not reach the breakpoint.

Best wishes and have fun with the datastore.
Dominik
