May 16, 2018 at 13:47 comment added X.Otano you are right, best name is a is a "pricing engine" If you give me an answer explaining which approach you will take (software desing, where to put the workers, etc) in that pricing engine i will give you "correct answer" many thanks dude
May 16, 2018 at 13:36 comment added X.Otano Can you give more light over it? What do you mean by worker jobs?
May 16, 2018 at 13:36 comment added Ewan sounds like a pricing engine. can be pretty heavy work, if you need to work out combination discounts on 1000s of items. not datawarehouse or sql you need to split it into worker jobs
May 16, 2018 at 13:28 comment added X.Otano each car is composed by thousands of pieces. Each piece is involved in some kind of processes which applies disccounts. All the info is stored in the database. Imagine : piece XXX01 have a disccount because there is an active promotion with the provider until 30-may-2018. Maybe the queries are not as heavy as you are thinking. Just thousands of records should be considered. When yopu are composing the car you will get a graph and a grid with the data of your Car, disccounts applied. logistic cost, etc
May 16, 2018 at 13:27 comment added Ewan if im buying a car and selecting upgrades, say "alloy wheels" then that's a price not a budget, how does it fit with "performing heavy queries generating , graphs and grid-tables to show the information"
May 16, 2018 at 13:25 comment added X.Otano No, we want the budget to be generated for a new car driver with the actual data (not historical, or reports, just the active data today) . Reporting is another piece of the app. But main work will be to analize and provide an instant budget
May 16, 2018 at 13:22 comment added Ewan if you mean "the average cost of cars by model calculated by summing the part cost from various suppliers, broken down per month" then yes definitely
May 16, 2018 at 13:22 comment added X.Otano yes , you are right with the meaning of budget
May 16, 2018 at 13:21 comment added Ewan hmm it could do "budget" is an odd word to use if you mean "the cost of a single car assembled from these parts"
May 16, 2018 at 12:50 comment added X.Otano the database is not only for reporting. As an example: the database will store wich pieces compose a CAR . Each model of car will have their own set of pieces, each one with its price, provider, etc etc. We want to query that data for generating budgets with one click. The budgets should query price of each item, also apply some disccounts based on some calculations of other facts like driver experience, accidents, relations with providers etc (huge etc). Do you think that fits a data wharehouse?
