Heyya,
This is slightly off-topic, but I figure fellow WO developers might
have input: I'm rewriting the store functionality of ThoughtConduit
and need to decide on a more refined version of my EOModel. In
particular, I want Products to be able to handle things such as size
and color (for t-shirts for example). I'm trying to decide how to
approach that. I could subclass Product for each size and color, but
that seems wasteful since only some products are shirts. Other types
of products may or may not have qualifiers such as size or color....
but they may need other types of qualifiers. Alternately, I could let
each group (it's a multigroup system) enter in a list of subtypes and
use relationships on ProductItems to denote whichever. sigh. It's one
of those things where it's best to get the model right before
proceeding. So, I'm racking my brain. Maybe it's time to take a data
modeling class :)
any thoughts?
