Re: Getting the OU for items recorded in datavalues table

 

Hi,

Incorrect - the term "sourceid" has never been used in DHIS v1. DHIS1
introduced and maintained the principle that the id reference field for any
table would be called <tablename>id.

I'm not sure WHY it was decided at the time to change this principle for
some of the organisationunitid foreign key fields, but the idea was dropped
quickly. Ola or Lars might recall...

regards
calle
