Hi, I'm in the process of starting to design a hotel booking system that will eventually consist of over 10,000 hotels all with different room types, rates and availability for different dates. My question is does anyone have any experience with regards the best way to store the daily rates. Am I best using the following pattern
(1) Default rates/rooms stored in a generic table (2) Any exceptions/changes/closed days to the daily rates are store in a separate table. (3) Any special offer exceptions are stored as a rule All, should I consider that for any hotel, for any room, for any day I have a record in a huge single table ??? Thanks for any help and input. Best, Neil
