Tracking footer fields in new table

[Phil Lello]

Hi,

I'm working on a plugin against the 2.9-rc2 codebase. I'd like to add a new table to track footer fields and values, but for the life of me I can't see where table creation is happening.

The table I'm proposing is 'patch_footers', which will contain:

patch_set_id integer
footer_field character varying(255)
footer_value character varying(255)

My motivation is that I'd like my plugin to associate 1..N tickets from an in-house ticketing system with a change, with the ticket id tracked in the database so I can easily query all patches related to a ticket.

Can someone point me in the right direction here? It doesn't seem like Schema_XX.java is the right place to do it, as I can't see any table creation there

Gerrit already knows how to track footer fields and values, see
  https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-gerrit.html#trackingid

They are not stored in the database but in the secondary index and you can use a change query to find changes by tracking ID.

Thanks Edwin, you're a star.

I've got my interface working nicely now by using the AJAX query API to get changes related to a given ticket. If I can work out how to do the config at a plugin level, possibly using a custom search prefix, that'd be gravy.
