Hi,

    I have a project where every lead comes in as a quote, is followed up with, and then finally an order is placed. So, the entry is first in a quote table, and then once all is finalized, it is placed as an order.

 

    I'm debating how to approach the table structure, as I'm revising there rest of the application. Would it make more sense to have a separate "orders" and "quotes" tables, or to have a single table with a orders/quotes flag column? If I did the multiple table approach, I would have order_line_item and quote_line_item tables for each as well.

 

    Any advice or thoughts will be appreciated.

 

Regards,

brian

Successful db design goes hand-in-glove with knowledge about the data items (columns) involved and the business processes acting on and changing those items, specifically (in this case) the transition from quote to order.

 

We know none of those
