JW has requested a new, smaller-scale db for another project, and sent details of the field structure. It will also use custom fields, so it's a useful testbed alongside the larger AdaptiveDB. Today I:

• built the schema in MySQL Workbench
• sent the schema diagram to JW for checking
• generated the db-creation sql
• added the custom-field-related sql (to create the fieldTypes, customFields, and customFieldData tables). I made a generic template for this, which I've added to the AdaptiveDB codebase.
• Created a db ("manifest") and an admin user for it ("manifest_admin") on mysql_dev.
• Tested and tweaked the table-creation sql until it worked.

If JW OKs the structure, I can build the local_classes.php file and we'll be ready to roll.
