Request Database abstraction and MySQL instance

[iankuan]

Hello all,

Recently, we need a Database module to store the timestamps of attendance. We call for help to impl it with extensibility. However, it should contain database interface and MySQL instance basically in Python3. Please follow mail mechanism(previous work). PR would be accepted with these three components:

1. Database interface
2. (Either) MySQL instance
3. (Either) SQLite instance
4. Unittest

Note that if you work on it, please notify us, thanks.

I think this should be a basic database to store student info

-- Database: `uscc_attendee`

-- Table structure for table `attendee`
CREATE TABLE `attendee` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `student_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `checkin_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  `checkout_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

-- Table structure for table `student`
CREATE TABLE `student` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
  `card_id` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT attendee_studentid_fk FOREIGN KEY(student_id) REFERENCES student(id);

@haha8x Please tweak it with markdown format. There 's a useful and powerful markdown note editor, HackMD. Here is an overview and features,HackMD - feature. It would be helpful for you. Moreover, I would check it after you tweak it.

@haha8x Please check this, HackMD - feature - code block, and tweak it with sql=. Moreover, could you please just update the original comment rather than new one. It would make this issue too tedious to follow.

Pardon! Are you still working on it? If so, please notify me or I would assign this work to others.

My seafood, @yenwu. I suppose we should add a feature/database branch, and let someone else can PR to this branch.

[iankuan]

@as23041248 , why we need that? Others could just PR to dev/master, are them?

Moreover, I create feature/serialization because this is the wanted feature in hurry and could collaborate with me. So why you suppose that?

By the way, you are already a committer, and you have full accessibility to this repository. If you hesitate to what you're going to do, you could ask me for suggestions. Just like this.

Update this issue. I found that SQLite is a good choice for us to omit complicated installation and have a lightweight database immediately.
