Friends, I have this situation: My customers quote products and all products in the quote has a separated cost. The sum of all cost for all products of a quote is the price of product for this customer.
To map this scenario, I have these tables: a) customer: db.define_table('customer', Field('name)) Example Data: id | name 1 | Google 2 | IBM 3 | Oracle b) products: db.define_table('products', Field('internal_code', 'string', length=4), Field('description', 'string', length=50)) Example Data: id | internal_code | description 1 | A001 | Website 2 | A002 | CRM 3 | B001 | Mobile App c) quotes: db.define_table('quotes', Field('quote_date', 'date'), Field('customer_id', db.customers, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'customer.id', 'customer.name'))) Example Data: id | quote_date | customer_id 1 | 2010-10-01 | 1 (Google) 2 | 2010-10-02 | 2 (IBM) d) quote_products: db.define_table('quote_products', Field('quote_id', db.quotes, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'quotes.id', 'quotes.id')), Field('product_id', db.products, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'products.id', 'products.description'))) Example Data: id | quote_id | product_id 1 | 1 | 3 (Mobile APP) 2 | 1 | 2 (CRM) 3 | 1 | 1 (Website) e) product cost id quote_products_id human_cost external_cost total_cost db.define_table('product cost', # A) this don't runs, generate a error, because the column description can not be accessed. #Field('quote_products_id', db.quote_products, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'quote_products.id', 'quote_products.product.description')), Field('quote_products_id', db.quote_products, requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'quote_products.id', 'quote_products.product')), Field('human_cost', 'double'), Field('external_cost', 'double'), Field('total_cost', 'double')) Example Data: id | quote_products_id | human_cost | external_cost | total_cost 1 | 1 | 2.00 | 5.00 | 7.00 2 | 2 | 1.00 | | 1 3 | 3 | 5.00 | 6.00 | 11.00 PS: For each item in quote_products table...I can have a record in the table product_cost. And the SUM() of the all 'total_cost columns' grouped by quote_products_id is the total value for a quote. For example, the cost of the quote in the date 2010-10-01 (id=01) is $ 19.00 Then, I have two questions: 1) How to solve the A) question ? 2) How to, automatically, SUM the columns 'human_cost' and 'external_cost' and put this sum in the column total_cost ? -- Leandro. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
