## Overview

The Bible is stored in an SQLite database with the structure:

Table        | Column        | Data type | Specials
-------------|---------------|-----------|---------------------------
book         | name          | TEXT      | PK
reference    | book          | TEXT      | PK, FK book.name
reference    | chapter       | INTEGER   | PK
reference    | verse         | INTEGER   | PK
translation  | name          | TEXT      | PK
text         | translation   | TEXT      | PK, FK translation.name
text         | book          | TEXT      | PK, FK reference.book
text         | chapter       | INTEGER   | PK, FK reference.chapter
text         | verse         | INTEGER   | PK, FK reference.verse
text         | text          | TEXT      |

<sup>(PK: primary key; FK: foreign key)</sup>

## Setting up

You're going to need one or several translations. One possibility is to [get them from Bible Hub][biblehubdb]. Download and unzip the zipped text file, then run `read-biblehub-db.py`.

## To do

Add a table for cross references, and a script to read in the database from [OpenBible.info][openbibledb].

Make a web frontend for anyone to search, add cross references, and vote for cross references.

## Troubleshooting

In case anything goes wrong, first check you're using **Python 3**.
