ok a history table sounds good as i think we will need to check the history of orders reasonably frequently.
current my orders consist of the following tables... orders (the customer info, currency etc.) orders_products (the products, price, qty) orders_products_attributes (the options selected for each product) am i better to combine these for a history table or should i have 3 history tables as above? in fact would i not need the customer info to be duplicated? the attributes get a little trick as one product can have up to 4 rows in the attributes table. mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244753 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
