Forum OpenACS Development: acs_named_objects obsolete in openacs 5.2+ ?

However, the categories documentation (e.g. http://openacs.com/test-doc/tutorial-categories) suggests to update acs_named_objects.

Furthermore the datamodel for postgres and oracle is different (see below). Especially, the added attribute 'locale' will probably cause problems due to the FK, when acs_named_objects is used as documented (see below). The only application in the cvs repository aside from xowiki using categories "by the book" with acs_named_objects is faq.

So, is there any reason to keep the table acs_named_objects?

Postgres:

create table acs_named_objects (
	object_id	integer not null
			constraint acs_named_objs_pk primary key
			constraint acs_named_objs_object_id_fk
			references acs_objects(object_id) on delete cascade,
	object_name	varchar(200),
	package_id	integer
			constraint acs_named_objs_package_id_fk
			references apm_packages(package_id) on delete cascade
);

Oracle:

create table acs_named_objects (
	object_id	integer not null
			constraint acs_named_objs_object_id_fk
			references acs_objects(object_id) on delete cascade,
	locale		varchar2(5)
			constraint acs_named_objs_locale_fk
			references ad_locales,
	object_name	varchar2(200),
	creation_date	date default sysdate not null,
	package_id	integer
			constraint acs_named_objs_package_id_fk
			references apm_packages(package_id) on delete cascade,
	constraint acs_named_objs_pk
	primary key (object_id, locale)
);
