This install file creates a table for the this module to store information about entities. Well, the only information that it needs to store is a name and a label for each entity created, the rest of the information is generated by the functions.

Code

function eck_update_7002() {

  // The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to replicate the
  // "status" property from nodes, this is just a flag that lets the system know
  // whether a piece of data should be seen by the public or not. Instead of a
  // boolean, I think that a int instead of boolean could be more useful, that
  // way more complicated workflows can be implemented. For example if a piece
  // of data needs to be reviewed before showing it to the public, and int can
  // campture those different states: 0- don't show 1 - show 3 - needs review 4
  // - revised by editor, etc. Also instead of status, I think that "state" is a
  // more appropiate name.
  $results = db_select('eck', 't')
    ->fields('t')
    ->execute();
  foreach ($results as $record) {
    db_add_field("eck_{$record->name}", 'state', array(
      'type' => 'int',
      'unsigned' => TRUE,
      'not null' => TRUE,
      'default' => 0,
      'description' => 'The state of the entity',
    ));
  }
