The timetable database contains the following tables:

staff
id name
co.ACg Cumming, Andrew
co.ACr Crerar, Dr Alison
co.AFA Armitage, Dr Alistair
... Result truncated.

The staff table simply gives the unique identifier for each member of staff together with their full name.

Each entry in the student table represents a group of students who follow the same timetable. The parent field is used to maintain a hierachy of groups. A student in group co1.CO.a is also in group co1.CO

All classrooms are listed in the room table. The parent relation is used to maintain groupings. The row co.117+118 represents a pair of rooms - sometimes these rooms are used for a single event.

Every event is associated with a single modle (deliberately mis-spelled version of module - which is a reserved word in one of engines). An event occurs on a particular day of the week (dow) at a particular time of day (tod). Every event has a duration specified as a whole number of hours.

By the 21st century, the Gradgrindians had completed their assimilation of Education. The process of "modularisation" was just one of their crimes against learning.
