Hi
This is a recurring question here, but I have read through the archive
and failed to find a answer so here goes.
Consider the following use cases:
as seen there exists the concept of a single product and that of a
product type (family of products), the business rules should be able
to work on both single products and on product types. The question now
is how best to deal with such rules from a DB point of view, is there
a relational design general enough to cope with such rules ? or do I
have to resolve to stored procedures and constraints ?.
I am not on the lookout for a complete solution, I simply see allot of business rules like the ones defined above, but never a clean solution to maintaining them (perhaps a DSL or a rule engine is the way to go).
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
