Exercise Data Identifiers and Numbering

In the exercises you will see that most of the data are specified with prefix n, X or a combination of these. For example: nX747-900 (Part Number), X10000 (Serial Number) and nAC (Maintenance Group).

The use of prefixes has several advantages:

The n is used to identify data that belongs to student number n.
The X makes it easy to query on the data you are using in the exercises for the IFS/VIM (IFS/Vehicle Information Management) courses (including predefined data).
A query like 3X% will normally fetch data that belongs to student no 3.
Exercise text can be more specific when referring to data elements.
The students does not have to create their own identifiers.

Data Specification	Teacher	Student number n
Vehicle Part No	X747-900	X747-900
Revision	*	*
Top Part S/N	X10000 (or X11000)	nX20000
Structure Part S/N	X19999	SN-1999
Workshop	LAX-C LAX-L	nLAX-C nLAX-L
