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

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.
