     First don't worry too much, start by making it work and see where you get performance problems. The database might be a lot quicker then you expect. Also it is often much easier to see what the best solution is when you have an actual query that is too slow.

     Regarding your design, if a post is never linked to more then one user then forget the USERS_POST table and put the user id in the POST table. In either case an index on the user id would help (as in not having to read the whole table) when the database grows large.

     Multiple places for a single user you would store in an additional table. For instance called USERS_PLACES, give it a column user_id to link it to USERS plus other columns for the data you wish to store per place.

     BTW In postgresql you might want to keep all object (tables, columns, ...) names lowercase because unless you take care to always quote them like "USERS" postgresql will make them lowercase which can be confusing.

     I have seen both approaches at my current company and would definitely lean towards the first (calculating totals based on stock transactions).

     If you are only storing a total quantity in a field somewhere, you have no idea how you arrived at that number. There is no transactional history and you can end up with problems.

     The last system I wrote tracks stock by storing each transaction as a record with a positive or negative quantity. I have found it works very well.

     It depends, inventory systems are about far more than just counting items. For example, for accounting purposes, you might need to know accounting value of inventory based on FIFO (First-in-First-out) model. That can't be calculated by simple "totaling inventory received - total of inventory sold" formula. But their model might calculate this easily, because they modify accounting value as they go. I don't want to go into details because this is not programming issue but if they swear by it, maybe you didn't understand fully all their requirements they have to accommodate.

     Sounds like you need a status on the inventory table. For example, a record for an arbitrary tool can have a status field that is a foreign key in the "Statuses" table. The Statuses table could look like this:

     ID Description-----------------------1 Available2 In Use3 Broken

     ... etc.

     Your Inventory table could look like this:

     id status_id description-------------------------------------1 2 Hammer2 1 Hammer3 3 Hammer4 1 Saw5 3 Saw

     Then, when you calculate inventory, only show records where a tool has a status of "1" for Available. You could also run queries for management to show how many tools are "Broken". Plan for eventually deleting these records once the broken tools are accounted for properly, or, keep them for historical data purposes.

     At all costs, avoid creating separate tables for the disposition of any entity in the database. Use a "flag" field (i.e. status_id), so you can add new statuses to an application without needed to infinitely add new tables.

   • inventory database with stock level tracking - how to implement stock check before checkout

     Top Answer

     Answered May 23, 2013 · 4 votes

     I would update the item/product table to include a current_stock_level column. There would be a check constraint against this column to ensure that it is always >= 0.

     Having done this, your transaction to insert the order will need to decrement the stock level according to the quantity ordered as well. If someone has ordered more stock than is available, they will violate the constraint and receive an error.

     If you want to verify the stock level against the transactions, then keep the initial_stock_level column. You can then run a daily/weekly/whenever process to verify that this minus the sum of orders equals the current stock level. If these are different then you can either update the current level or raise an alert to someone to investigate this.

     Once this verification process (successfully) completes, update the initial_stock_level to the current level. Also include a stock_level_verified date to indicate the last time this was run.

     Note if your system has constant use 24x7, you may run into concurrency issues running this checking process as people can decrement the stock while you're doing this. You'll need to think about how you're going to manage this.

     Answered Jan 08, 2015 · 7 votes

     Don't store multiple values in one column in a relational database - it's generally considered bad practice.

     It would be better to have two tables, one with a product name and product ID, and another for variations (having columns variation_id, product_id, size, colour, quantity). The product_id column in the variation table will be a foreign key to the product table.

   • Discovery Phase. The first step is the discovery phase, where the groundwork for your IMS is laid out. This stage involves eliciting both functional and non-functional requirements, defining user roles, and determining necessary integrations with other systems like ERP, CRM, WMS, POS, and accounting systems.
   • Planning the Project in Detail. After laying the foundation, the next step is to meticulously plan the project. This stage includes outlining the scope of work and its duration, identifying potential risks, and strategies to mitigate them.
   • Designing the Database Schema. Designing a robust database schema is crucial for a functional IMS. It’s about creating a blueprint for the database structure, detailing tables for products, categories, suppliers, and transactions.
   • Implementing System Functionality. With the database schema in place, you move on to implementing the IMS’s system functionality. This step involves developing and integrating features allowing efficient inventory entry and tracking, such as product entry forms and real-time updates.
