Datamodel: Annotations are stored wrong

[mapkyca]

While trying to do this:

List, edit, delete or otherwise manage annotations and comments

I encountered this error:

It's not really possible, as annotations are stored directly on the object

Some other notes:

The current data model is very heavily influenced by the fact it was originally stored in mongo only. Storing annotations on the actual object is utterly crazy when you're in a relational world.

Redesign the data model to store annotations in its own table.

• Annotations to have its own relational table
• Object methods to address this for SQL stores
• Migration script for existing annotations

Give us some context:

• It'd also be really handy if you could tell us the contents of your version.known file
• What database are you using? (e.g. mongo, mysql, postgres)
• Any warnings or errors in your admin/diagnostics page?
• If this is a programming bug, can you include examples of any Micropub / API calls / webhook pings you make? Otherwise please don't worry about what this means!
• Bonus points - are you able to illustrate the issue with a unit test? If so, submit it as a pull request!

Storing annotations on the actual object...

I'm encountering this very issue while trying to fetch individual reply annotations, the whole object is returned...

While we are refactoring relations between tables, I would also make annotations have a relation to their (remote) user entity.

This will ensure remote user info such as owner_name & owner_image are always current, for example.
