in single table as json for example or splitted tables with splitted columns? |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:03 |
makallio85 |
I mean, customer, related widgets, client, payment terms, dates etc |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:03 |
makallio85 |
But. Would you have single table for states for all kind of objects or separate ones? |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:02 |
makallio85 |
Yes. That is what I meant. I just couldnt explain myself correctly. |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:01 |

as in, quantity, any metadata about the widget, etc. |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:01 |
savant |
i would have a table with the widget state at the time of purchase :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:00 |
makallio85 |
:) Would you go with data revisioning instead? |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:00 |
savant |
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:00 |
savant |
I guess you can do that |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:00 |
savant |
okay |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 18:00 |
makallio85 |
It could save me from storing actual pdfs to anywhere |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:59 |
makallio85 |
It could be done via data revisision but for me it seems little bit overkill to do, for all related data |
| # |

But I mean, that i will store those widget relations for invoices in separate tables - no doubt. But I still need static metadata (for the time, invoice was created) in order to regenerate. For example when I want to change widget price or something else that was related to invoice. |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:56 |
makallio85 |
Yeah, true. |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:55 |
savant |
cant do it if you are serializing that data |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:55 |
savant |
some months down the line, you want to figure out how many widgets you sold in March |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:55 |
savant |
thats stored in a serialized column somewhere and thats it |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:55 |
savant |
and someone buys 10 widgets |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:55 |
savant |
lets say you have a store and you sell widgets |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:55 |
savant |
not really, but if you ever find you need to query for something in there, its harder |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:54 |
makallio85 |
Probably my question is here, is it stupid to store serialized objects to database of metadata? |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:54 |
savant |
dont allow anyone to change the data in the database once the user is accepted? |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:53 |
makallio85 |
I think querying metadata is not something I need, probably just regeneration of pdf |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:52 |
makallio85 |
And if I choose not to store pdf's anywhere but only create "on the fly" based on metadata |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:52 |
makallio85 |
What about data revisions? I mean that, if user changes some data in database and after that meta data is not same as it was in time when invoice was created. |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:50 |
savant |
i would store it as you would anything else so that you can easily query it |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:50 |
savant |
thats the same as any other data? |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:49 |
makallio85 |
Sorry about lame explanation |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:49 |
makallio85 |
Yeah, I mean when you have for eg invoice that user has accepted (no changes anymore), and I need to store metadata for pdf version of it |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:48 |
savant |
final invoice related static data? |
| # |
Mar 4th 2018, 17:48 |
makallio85 |
Not recessarily cake related question but how would you guys store final invoice related static data to database? Separate tables as usual or static data in single column? I see pros and cons for both approaches but i would like to hear about how other people has resolved this issue. |
