lds-scriptures-3.0 data dumps (well, some)

The next version of the lds-scriptures project release is taking forever. The main reason (aside from me always putting it off) is that it will most likely be the last release since it fulfills all my original goals, and so I’m obsessing over every little detail to make sure it’s right.

That said, the *schema* is actually complete and ready to go. It pretty much has been for a while, but yesterday I got around to doing some more optimizations. I also thought I had the Access ones cleaned up, but I had a few issues in there which have now been resolved. I still have a few nitpicks about it, but I’ll probably let it slide.

So, downloads for the actual data are available right now for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite 2 and 3, and Access 97, 2000 and 2002. You can get them here: http://spaceparanoids.org/nephi/lds-scriptures-3.0/

I still have a few formats to export to (CSV, XML, etc.), so I’m not finished, and then I need to write the documentation because the entire schema has changed since the 2.0 release series. The major change is that the data is completely normalized now. Another small bonus is I threw in a sample view there. Oh, and the obligatory bugfix is that I accidentally missed some of the text in one of the Doctrine and Covenants sections. Whoops.

Anyway, I’m tired of waiting for my perfect release to make it out the door, so at the very least, there’s the raw data that everyone’s going to want, anyway. 🙂

I’m glad that at least that’s done!
