QuestionExcel Spreadsheet To Database Migration Assistance Pin
Glen McHale6-Apr-21 23:55

Hi All

I am working to move an unwieldy spreadsheet into a streamlined database to improve the data handling, speed of use and data integrity. I kind of understand what it is I want to do (to a degree) but am new to data modelling/database design so need to get assistance on a particular situation that currently has me stumped as to how to best overcome/design around.

I currently have the data split into 4 tables based on the unique and the repeated/copied data in the spreadsheet. The data is around delivery of goods and split as follows:

Consignment which can be made up of 1 or multiple warehouse deliveries
Warehouse deliveries which can be made up of 1 or multiple customer deliveries

So far there are 3 of the 4 tables, there MUST be at least 1 warehouse delivery for a consignment and there MUST be at least 1 customer delivery for a warehouse delivery

The 4th table is Product. Currently a customer delivery can be 1 or multiple products so I believe that the Product should be related to the Customer Delivery table, but the wrinkle is that at the start of the process we will have a Consignment with Product(s) but not necessarily the Customer information until a later date. Currently in the spreadsheet what happens is the data is entered on one line with no Customer/Warehouse information and just a total for the product and then at a later date it is split into multiple lines of data with alot of repeated information but the specific Warehouse/Customer/Product Split information updated. So previously I stated there MUST be warehouse deliveries and customer deliveries for every consignment and whilst this is true the nature of the business means that initially that information may not be available until some time after the consignment is en route to the warehouse

Hope this is all making sense so far.

So here's my question. Should the Product table be related to Consignment or Customer Delivery, and if customer delivery is it a matter of Warehouse and Customer delivery details being entered in a dummy format to allow the relationships to be setup and manipulated at a later date

I really hope this all makes sense as i'm trying to do this in the right way but my low knowledge on database design means i'm kind of making it up as i go by reading up on the right way to do things from multiple sources and pulling together examples of potentially similar standard designs and copy/pasting sections from them to cobble together the data model

thanks in advance

Glen
