Core Tables Cheat Sheet

Unified Machines Table (Phase 2 Schema)

-- ALL PCs, Equipment, and Network Devices are in one table
machines (machineid, hostname, serialnumber, alias, machinenumber,
          machinetypeid, pctypeid, modelnumberid, osid, printerid,
          loggedinuser, machinenotes, isactive, maptop, mapleft, lastupdated)

-- Identify record type:
--   PCs:             pctypeid IS NOT NULL (machinetypeid 33+)
--   Equipment:       pctypeid IS NULL AND machinetypeid NOT IN (16,17,18,19,20) AND machinetypeid < 33
--   Network Devices: machinetypeid IN (16,17,18,19,20)
-- Equipment types: 1-15, 21-25 (e.g., Lathe, Mill, CMM, Hobbing Machine, etc.)

PC-Related Tables

-- PC Types
pctype (pctypeid, typename)
-- Values: Standard, Engineer, Shopfloor, CMM, Wax Trace, etc.

-- Communication Config (serial ports for equipment)
commconfig (configid, machineid, configtype, portid, baud, databits, parity, ipaddress)

-- DNC Config
dncconfig (dncid, machineid, site, cnc, ncif, dualpath_enabled, path1_name, path2_name)

-- PC-to-Equipment Relationships
machinerelationships (relationshipid, machineid, related_machineid, relationshiptypeid)
-- relationshiptypeid 3 = "Controls" (PC controls equipment)

Network & Communications

-- All network interfaces
communications (comid, machineid, comstypeid, address, macaddress,
                subnetmask, defaultgateway, interfacename, isprimary, isactive)
-- comstypeid 1 = Network Interface
-- NOTE: Column is 'address' not 'ipaddress'

-- Subnets
subnets (subnetid, address, subnet, vlan, gateway, subnettypeid)

Equipment & Machine Types

-- Machine Types (machinetypeid ranges)
machinetypes (machinetypeid, machinetype)
--   1-15:  Equipment (Vertical Lathe, Mill, CMM, etc.)
--   16-20: Network Devices (16=AP, 17=IDF, 18=Camera, 19=Switch, 20=Server)
--   33-35: PC Types (Desktop, Laptop, Workstation)

installedapps (machineid, applicationid)

Applications & KB

-- Applications
applications (applicationid, applicationname, appdescription, supportteamid)

-- Knowledge Base
knowledgebase (linkid, shortdescription, keywords, applicationid, linkurl, clicks)

Infrastructure

-- Printers (separate table, not in machines)
printers (printerid, printercsfname, modelid, serialnumber, ipaddress, fqdn, isactive)
-- NOTE: Printers use 'ipaddress' (unlike communications which uses 'address')

-- Notifications
notifications (notificationid, notification, starttime, endtime, isactive, notificationtypeid)

-- Warranties
warranties (warrantyid, machineid, enddate, servicelevel, status, daysremaining)

Reference Data

-- Core reference tables
models (modelnumberid, modelnumber, vendorid)
vendors (vendorid, vendor)

notificationtypes (notificationtypeid, typename)    -- Awareness, Change, Incident
comstypes (comstypeid, typename)                    -- IP, Serial, Network_Interface
subnettypes (subnettypeid, subnettypename)          -- Subnet type classifications
topics (topicid, topic)                             -- KB topic categories

Common Tasks

Start Development Environment

cd ~/projects/windows/shopdb
~/start-dev-env.sh  # Starts Docker + Windows VM
# Wait ~30 seconds for IIS to start
curl http://192.168.122.151:8080  # Test

Database Access

# Connect to MySQL
docker exec -it dev-mysql mysql -u root -prootpassword shopdb

# Backup database
docker exec dev-mysql mysqldump -u root -prootpassword shopdb > backup.sql

# Restore database
docker exec -i dev-mysql mysql -u root -prootpassword shopdb < backup.sql

# Check table counts
docker exec dev-mysql mysql -u root -prootpassword shopdb \
  -e "SELECT table_name, table_rows FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='shopdb' ORDER BY table_rows DESC;"

Code Development

# Edit files (auto-syncs to Windows via Samba)
code ~/projects/windows/shopdb/

# Check syntax (if you have a validator)
# ASP doesn't have great linters, test by loading in browser

# View logs (Windows VM)
# C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\

Testing Changes

1. Save file on Linux (auto-syncs to Z:\shopdb\ on Windows)
2. Refresh browser (http://192.168.122.151:8080/yourfile.asp)
3. Check browser console for JS errors
4. Check IIS Express console for ASP errors
5. Check database for data changes

Search System Quick Guide

Search Syntax

• Exact match: "exact phrase" (not yet implemented)
• Multiple words: word1 word2 (finds both)
• Short words: < 4 characters use LIKE fallback automatically

What's Searchable?

• Applications: Name
• Knowledge Base: Title, keywords, application name
• Notifications: Notification text
• Machines: Number, alias, type, vendor, notes
• Printers: CSF name, model, serial number

Smart Redirects

• Printer serial (exact): → Printer detail page
• Printer FQDN (exact): → Printer detail page
• Machine number (exact): → Machine detail page

Key VBScript Patterns

Include Required Files

<!--#include file="./includes/sql.asp"-->
<!--#include file="./includes/error_handler.asp"-->
<!--#include file="./includes/validation.asp"-->
<!--#include file="./includes/db_helpers.asp"-->

Safe Database Query

<%
' Get and validate input
Dim machineId
machineId = GetSafeInteger("QS", "machineid", 0, 1, 999999)

If machineId = 0 Then
    Response.Redirect("error.asp?code=INVALID_ID")
    Response.End
End If

' Parameterized query
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM machines WHERE machineid = ? AND isactive = 1"
Set rs = ExecuteParameterizedQuery(objConn, strSQL, Array(machineId))

' Use results
If Not rs.EOF Then
    Response.Write Server.HTMLEncode(rs("machinenumber"))
End If

' Cleanup
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Call CleanupResources()
%>

Display a List

<%
strSQL = "SELECT machineid, machinenumber, alias FROM machines WHERE isactive=1 ORDER BY machinenumber"
Set rs = objConn.Execute(strSQL)

Do While Not rs.EOF
%>
    <tr>
        <td><%=Server.HTMLEncode(rs("machinenumber"))%></td>
        <td><%=Server.HTMLEncode(rs("alias"))%></td>
        <td><a href="displaymachine.asp?machineid=<%=rs("machineid")%>">View</a></td>
    </tr>
<%
    rs.MoveNext
Loop

rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
%>

Form Handling

<%
If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then
    ' Validate input
    Dim machineName
    machineName = GetSafeString("FORM", "machinename", "", 1, 50, "^[A-Za-z0-9\s\-]+$")

    If machineName = "" Then
        Call HandleValidationError("addmachine.asp", "REQUIRED_FIELD")
    End If

    ' Insert into database
    strSQL = "INSERT INTO machines (machinenumber) VALUES (?)"
    Set rs = ExecuteParameterizedQuery(objConn, strSQL, Array(machineName))

    Call CleanupResources()
    Response.Redirect("displaymachines.asp")
    Response.End
End If
%>
<!-- Show form -->
<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="machinename" required>
    <button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>

Troubleshooting

"Page Cannot Be Displayed"

1. Check IIS Express is running (Windows Task Manager)
2. Check Windows VM is running: virsh list --all
3. Check network: ping 192.168.122.151
4. Restart: ~/stop-dev-env.sh && ~/start-dev-env.sh

"Database Connection Failed"

1. Check MySQL container: docker ps | grep mysql
2. Check credentials in sql.asp
3. Test connection: docker exec -it dev-mysql mysql -u 570005354 -p570005354 shopdb
4. Check firewall: MySQL port 3306 must be open

"ODBC Driver Not Found" (Windows)

1. Install MySQL ODBC 8.0 Driver on Windows VM
2. Verify in Control Panel → ODBC Data Sources
3. Restart IIS Express

"Changes Not Appearing"

1. Hard refresh: Ctrl+F5
2. Check file actually saved: ls -la ~/projects/windows/shopdb/filename.asp
3. Check Samba: sudo systemctl status smbd
4. Check Windows can see Z: drive

"SQL Injection Error"

1. You're using unsafe query patterns!
2. Use ExecuteParameterizedQuery() from db_helpers.asp
3. Review STANDARDS.md for correct patterns

---

Security Checklist

Before deploying code, verify:

• All SQL queries use parameterization
• All user input validated (validation.asp)
• All output encoded (Server.HTMLEncode)
• Error messages don't expose internals
• No hard-coded credentials
• Resources cleaned up (Call CleanupResources())
• Tested on dev environment first
• Peer reviewed (if possible)

Useful SQL Queries

Get All PCs

SELECT m.machineid, m.hostname, m.serialnumber, pt.typename AS pctype
FROM machines m
JOIN pctype pt ON m.pctypeid = pt.pctypeid
WHERE m.pctypeid IS NOT NULL AND m.isactive = 1
ORDER BY m.hostname;

Get All Equipment

SELECT m.machineid, m.machinenumber, m.alias, mt.machinetype
FROM machines m

ORDER BY m.machinenumber;

Get Network Devices

SELECT m.machineid, m.alias, mt.machinetype, c.address
FROM machines m
JOIN machinetypes mt ON m.machinetypeid = mt.machinetypeid
LEFT JOIN communications c ON m.machineid = c.machineid AND c.isprimary = 1
WHERE m.machinetypeid IN (16,17,18,19,20) AND m.isactive = 1;

Find PC by Hostname with IP

SELECT m.hostname, m.serialnumber, c.address AS ipaddress, pt.typename
FROM machines m
JOIN pctype pt ON m.pctypeid = pt.pctypeid
LEFT JOIN communications c ON m.machineid = c.machineid AND c.isprimary = 1
WHERE m.hostname = 'PC-NAME' AND m.pctypeid IS NOT NULL;

Equipment with Controlling PCs

SELECT
    equipment.machinenumber AS equipment,
    equipment.alias,
    pc.hostname AS controlling_pc
FROM machinerelationships mr
JOIN machines equipment ON mr.machineid = equipment.machineid
JOIN machines pc ON mr.related_machineid = pc.machineid
WHERE mr.relationshiptypeid = 3 AND mr.isactive = 1;

Most Clicked KB Articles

SELECT k.shortdescription, a.applicationname, k.clicks, k.linkurl
FROM knowledgebase k
JOIN applications a ON k.applicationid = a.applicationid
WHERE k.isactive = 1
ORDER BY k.clicks DESC
LIMIT 20;

DualPath PCs

SELECT m.hostname, dnc.dualpath_enabled, dnc.path1_name, dnc.path2_name

Common Gotchas

1. VBScript uses & for concatenation, not +
2. Comparison is = not ==
3. All Dim declarations must be at function/procedure top
4. Always close recordsets and connections
5. FULLTEXT requires words ≥ 4 characters (we have LIKE fallback)
6. bit(1) fields need CBool() conversion to use in IF statements
7. Request.QueryString/Form always returns strings - validate/cast!
8. Server.HTMLEncode() all output to prevent XSS
9. objConn is global - don't redeclare, just use it
10. File paths in Windows use backslash , Linux forward /
