   There are six tables used to store student performance data (the results of
   a dumpcurrent).  Each of these tables is created in MySQL with a name of
   $courseid_*****, where ***** is 'symb', 'part', or whatever is appropriate 
   for the table.  The tables and their purposes are described below.
   
   Some notes before we get started.
   
   Each table must have a PRIMARY KEY, which is a column or set of columns which
   will serve to uniquely identify a row of data.  NULL is not allowed!
   
   INDEXes work best on integer data.
   
   JOIN is used to combine data from many tables into one output.
   
   lonmysql.pm is used for some of the interface, specifically the table creation
   calls.  The inserts are done in bulk by directly calling the database handler.
   The SELECT ... JOIN statement used to retrieve the data does not have an
   interface in lonmysql.pm and I shudder at the thought of writing one.
   
   =head3 Table Descriptions
   
 =over 4  =over 4
   
 Input: $cache, $c  =item $symb_table
   
 $cache:  A pointer to a hash to store the information  The symb_table has two columns.  The first is a 'symb_id' and the second
   is the text name for the 'symb' (limited to 64k).  The 'symb_id' is generated
   automatically by MySQL so inserts should be done on this table with an
   empty first element.  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on the 'symb_id'.
   
   =item $part_table
   
   The part_table has two columns.  The first is a 'part_id' and the second
   is the text name for the 'part' (limited to 100 characters).  The 'part_id' is
   generated automatically by MySQL so inserts should be done on this table with
   an empty first element.  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on the 'part' (100
   characters) and a KEY on 'part_id'.
   
   =item $student_table
   
   The student_table has two columns.  The first is a 'student_id' and the second
   is the text description of the 'student' (typically username:domain) (less
   than 100 characters).  The 'student_id' is automatically generated by MySQL.
   The use of the name 'student_id' is loaded, I know, but this ID is used ONLY 
   internally to the MySQL database and is not the same as the students ID 
   (stored in the students environment).  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on the
   'student' (100 characters).
   
   =item $updatetime_table
   
   The updatetime_table has two columns.  The first is 'student' (100 characters,
   typically username:domain).  The second is 'updatetime', which is an unsigned
   integer, NOT a MySQL date.  This table has its PRIMARY KEY on 'student' (100
   characters).
   
   =item $performance_table
   
   The performance_table has 9 columns.  The first three are 'symb_id', 
   'student_id', and 'part_id'.  These comprise the PRIMARY KEY for this table
   and are directly related to the $symb_table, $student_table, and $part_table
   described above.  MySQL does better indexing on numeric items than text,
   so we use these three "index tables".  The remaining columns are
   'solved', 'tries', 'awarded', 'award', 'awarddetail', and 'timestamp'.
   These are either the MySQL type TINYTEXT or various integers ('tries' and 
   'timestamp').  This table has KEYs of 'student_id' and 'symb_id'.
   For use of this table, see the functions described below.
   
   =item $parameters_table
   
   The parameters_table holds the data that does not fit neatly into the
   performance_table.  The parameters table has four columns: 'symb_id',
   'student_id', 'parameter', and 'value'.  'symb_id', 'student_id', and
   'parameter' comprise the PRIMARY KEY for this table.  'parameter' is 
   limited to 255 characters.  'value' is limited to 64k characters.

   $returnstatus is a string describing any errors that occured.  'okay' is the
   default.
   \%student_data is the data returned by a call to lonnet::currentdump.
   
   This subroutine loads a students data using lonnet::currentdump and inserts
   it into the MySQL database.  The inserts are done on two tables, 
   $performance_table and $parameters_table.  $parameters_table holds the data 
   that is not included in $performance_table.  See the description of 
   $performance_table elsewhere in this file.  The INSERT calls are made
   directly by this subroutine, not through lonmysql because we do a 'bulk'
   insert which takes advantage of MySQLs non-SQL compliant INSERT command to 
   insert multiple rows at a time.  If anything has gone wrong during this
   process, $returnstatus is updated with a description of the error and
   \%student_data is returned.  
   
   Notice we do not insert the data and immediately query it.  This means it
   is possible for there to be data returned this first time that is not 
   available the second time.  CYA.

   This routine is the heart of the local caching system.  See the description
   of $performance_table, $symb_table, $student_table, and $part_table.  The
   main task is building the MySQL request.  The tables appear in the request
   in the order in which they should be parsed by MySQL.  When searching
   on a student the $student_table is used to locate the 'student_id'.  All
   rows in $performance_table which have a matching 'student_id' are returned,
   with data from $part_table and $symb_table which match the entries in
   $performance_table, 'part_id' and 'symb_id'.  When searching on a symb,
   the $symb_table is processed first, with matching rows grabbed from 
   $performance_table and filled in from $part_table and $student_table in
   that order.  
   
 These are just a couple of functions do various odd and end   Running 'EXPLAIN ' on the 'SELECT' statements generated can be quite 
 jobs.  interesting, especially if you play with the order the tables are listed.

 =item &TestCacheData()  =item &get_problem_statistics()
   
   Gather data on a given problem.  The database is assumed to be 
   populated and all local caching variables are assumed to be set
   properly.  This means you need to call &ensure_current_data for
   the students you are concerned with prior to calling this routine.
   
 Determine if the cache database can be accessed with a tie.  It waits up to  Inputs: $students, $symb, $part, $courseid
 ten seconds before returning failure.  This function exists to help with  
 the problems with stopping the data download.  When an abort occurs and the  
 user quickly presses a form button and httpd child is created.  This  
 child needs to wait for the other to finish (hopefully within ten seconds).  
   
 =over 4  =over 4
   
 Input: $ChartDB  =item $students is an array of hash references.  
   Each hash must contain at least the 'username' and 'domain' of a student.
   
 $ChartDB: The name of the cache database to be opened  =item $symb is the symb for the problem.
   
 Output: -1, 0, 1  =item $part is the part id you need statistics for
   
 -1: Couldn't tie database  =item $courseid is the course id, of course!
  0: Use cached data  
  1: New cache database created, use that.

   =item tries The total number of tries for the students
         
   =item max_tries The maximum number of tries taken
         
   =item mean_tries The average number of tries
         
   =item num_solved The number of students able to solve the problem
         
   =item num_override The number of students whose answer is 'correct_by_override'
         
   =item deg_of_diff The degree of difficulty of the problem
         
   =item std_tries The standard deviation of the number of tries
         
   =item skew_tries The skew of the number of tries

   able to answer it correctly.
