I looked at your example and I have only seen three pictures that means
nothing.
I have not seen the script you used to create the database.
I wonder what actions are necessary to add 100 boxes to the database.
I wonder if you can do math with those quantities.
For example could one ask for the total weight of all boxes ? Or for total
cost ?
I wonder how the Xdb solution compare with an SQL solution.
