New FeedFetcher Deluxe 4.0 Build

Thanks again to all the testers that have been working with FeedFetcher Deluxe 4.0. Our latest build was made available in the usual spot a few days ago. This build included play-by-play tables for hockey, as well as some fixes from previous builds (all listed out on the downloads page).

The most important fix corrected an error with the February XXXX build that sometimes resulted in multiple entries in the persons table, with the exact same person_key. Hockey updates, among potentially other types of updates, would trigger this error.

Here is a diagnostic query you can make to detect if your SportsDB has this data integrity problem:

select a.person_key from persons a INNER JOIN persons b ON (a.id != b.id AND a.publisher_id = b.publisher_id AND a.person_key = b.person_key) GROUP by a.person_key ORDER BY a.person_key LIMIT 30;

If so, contact us. We have a l'il script that can clean things up for you!

In other SportsDB news, soon well be announcing the official launch of SportsDB.org and its companion websites. And we'll be uploading some fantastic troves of archival data as well... announcement coming soon!
