Re: Unique dataset section name

 

Hi Aravind,

good point. There is actually a Hibernate-managed uniqueness constraint
covering both datasetid + name, and hence there should not be a uniqueness
constraint on name only. I have removed it in trunk and 2.15 now.

Does this imply that you do not need attributes for sections?

regards,

Lars
