Tables 3: The League History Tables.

cavebutterLeave a comment

Edited based on some really useful tips from the OOTP Community’s resident MySQL whisperer

Where in Lahman, you have to build your own views for league statistics by season, OOTP does that for you.  This is nice.  I have a couple issues with the some of the columns in these tables and I will explain them as we build them.  Also, here’s where I started adding AUTO_INCREMENT ID fields to these tables.  I tried playing around with massive, composite PK’s and it wasn’t good.

Creating the league_history table

So, I thought this table was going to be useful when I configured the MySQL dump in-game.  Turns out, it’s not all that useful for my purposes.  It just identifies the award winners for each year in each league and sub_league.  More out of laziness than anything else, I am keeping it in the schema:

CREATE TABLE `league_history` (
  `league_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `sub_league_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `year` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `best_hitter_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_pitcher_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_rookie_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_manager_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id0` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id1` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id2` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id3` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id4` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id5` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id6` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id7` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id8` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `best_fielder_id9` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`league_id`,`sub_league_id`,`year`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

 

Create league_history_batting_stats table

There are a couple puzzles in this and the next two tables.  The columns ‘game_id’ and ‘team_id’ are hard to figure out.  In fact, I have not figured them out.  Their purpose, I’m sure, is to identify the sub_league.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t use a column called ‘sub_league’.  I haven’t been able to find any table that links either of these columns to sub_league.  So, there’s not much we can do with them.  Moreover, we’ll still have to create a view later on that sums the totals for each ‘team_id’ and ‘game_id’ pair.  I even posted about this on the OOTP Boards, but no one has chimed in yet.  Wishing doesn’t make it true.  Those columns most likely do not represent usable data.

‘split_id’ refers to stats accumulated against all pitchers, just righties, just lefties.  This is important at the player level.  At the league level, though, all split_id=0.

Also, this table conveniently tracks singles, ‘s’, as a column.  Would be nice if it did the same at the player level to save us the calculation in some statistics, but oh well.

Note that I added an AUTO_INCREMENT ID as PK and indexed ‘year’, ‘league_id’, and ‘split_id’.

CREATE TABLE `league_history_batting_stats` (
  `lhbs_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,    
  `year` smallint(6) NOT NULL,
  `team_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `game_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `league_id` int(11) NOT NULL,

Create  league_history_fielding_stats table

Similar to the above, but for fielding stats at league level.  I haven’t yet dug into what fielding stats I will be calculating, so I don’t have all that much to say about this table.

CREATE TABLE `league_history_fielding_stats` (
  `lhfs_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,    
  `year` smallint(6) NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY (`lhfs_id`),
  INDEX `lhfs_ix1` (`year`),
  INDEX `lhfs_ix2` (`league_id`),
  INDEX `lhfs_ix3` (`split_id`) 
    ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

 

Create league_history_pitching_stats table

This table may come in handy at some point – I haven’t done a lot of work on pitching stats yet.  But it does NOT come in handy for establishing a run environment for a league.  Why?  Because you can’t determine the number of outs!  It’s strange – as the player table has an outs column.  This table has an IP column, which would be OK if it weren’t an integer.  IP is usually tracked with a baseball-specific decimal number (x.y) where x is the number of complete innings pitched and y (0, 1, 2)  represent the outs of incomplete innings.  What are you supposed to do with only the integer?  Yes, well, apparently the column ‘ipf’  stands for Innings Pitched Fraction.  So, Outs = (3*IP) + IPF.  Anyway, I am sure I will find plenty of uses for this table in the future:

Tables 2: Leagues, Sub_Leagues, and Divisions

cavebutterLeave a comment

One interesting feature in each of these tables is the ‘gender’ column.  Leaving aside the question of why leagues, subleagues, or divisions would need to be gendered (at least in English), it does beg the question of whether, perhaps OOTP will ever consider mixed or even female-only leagues.

Creating the leagues table

The leagues table has a LOT of columns.  Part of me thinks that I should figure out a way to truncate the data before loading it into the database because there’s just sooo many!  And I really only need the first several.  On the other hand, I would have to this every time I generated a data dump.  There will never be so many leagues that this table will become too large, so I will leave it alone for now.  Note that we are only interested in the first 4 columns:

Creating the sub_leagues table

The sub_leagues table is much more manageable.  It serves to name each league’s sub_leagues and attach them to a parent league.  Note here that I made a composite PK rather than adding an AUTO_INCREMENT:

CREATE TABLE `sub_leagues` (
  `league_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `sub_league_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `abbr` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `gender` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `designated_hitter` tinyint(4) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`league_id`,`sub_league_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

 

Creating the divisions table

This one, too, is very straightforward.  Again, a composite primary key rather than an AUTO_INCREMENT:

CREATE TABLE `divisions` (
  `league_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `sub_league_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `division_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `gender` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`league_id`,`sub_league_id`,`division_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Tables Post 1: Some Notes, Creating the DB, Cities and Nations Tables

cavebutterLeave a comment

There are a lot of tables that can be dumped from OOTP, and at this point I don’t need  nearly all of them.    With the exception of the ‘nations’ and ‘cities’ tables, they will all be focused on teams, leagues, and players.

A few important notes that I want to put up front so they don’t get lost in the code:

  • I am not using Foreign Keys (FK’s) in this database. There are two reasons for this.  First, probably due to ignorance, I was having a lot of trouble getting them set up.  There are only so many hours a person can research solutions to Error 1215 before he just throws up his hands and quits.  Second, as long as we’re properly indexed, FK’s shouldn’t have much impact on query performance.  As long as I can trust the data OOTP dumps to have referential integrity (and I do), then we should be OK.
  • I’ve added AUTO_INCREMENT ID’s to player_career and league_history tables.  Without them, the Primary Keys for these tables would be ridiculously composite, and still have PK violations when data is imported.  I will note these in the code.

 

Create the database. Easy enough.  This bit wipes the database and starts fresh:

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS TEST1;
CREATE DATABASE TEST1;
USE TEST1;

 

Create nations table

I don’t have any plans to use this table right now, I can maybe see a potential use case when using a larger universe.

CREATE TABLE `nations` (
  `nation_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `short_name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `abbreviation` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `demonym` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,

  `capital_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `use_hardcoded_ml_player_origins` tinyint(4) DEFAULT NULL,
  `this_is_the_usa` tinyint(4) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`nation_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

 

Create cities table

Similar to above, though more potential use cases.  Particularly thinking about the owner goals in game where you are asked to sign a “home town player.”

CREATE TABLE `cities` (
  `city_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `nation_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `state_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `name` varchar(80) DEFAULT NULL,
  `abbreviation` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `latitude` double DEFAULT NULL,
  `longitude` double DEFAULT NULL,
  `population` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `main_language_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`city_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
