VbzCart: catalog building

Version

This is being revised yet again for the 2007 VbzCart-MySQL migration project; the previous version is here: VbzCart catalog building 2006.

Process

This is only a draft, as the process is still being worked out.

1. Update the list of all catalog-based items ([calc Items Updates saved])
   • Generate a list of all the items currently available from suppliers (query)
   • Add any new items to [calc Items Updates saved]
2. For all items in [calc Items Updates saved] where ID_Item IS NULL, create new records in cat_items and update the corresponding records in [calc Items Updates saved]
3. Update all data in cat_items from data stored in [calc Items Updates saved]
4. In cat_items, clear all isForSale flags except for items either in stock or found in [calc Items Updates saved]

SQL

These are from the MS Access 97 version.

qryCatNum_Depts

<sql>SELECT

 d.ID,
 d.name,
 d.sort,
 d.CatKey,
 ID_Supplier,
 s.CatKey&iif(d.CatKey IS NULL,"","-"&d.CatKey) AS CatNum,
 d.CatKey AS DeptCatKey

FROM Depts AS d LEFT JOIN Suppliers AS s ON d.ID_Supplier=s.ID;</sql>

qryCatNum_Titles

v_titles has much the same information, but depends on _titles and so may not be up-to-date. <sql>SELECT

 t.ID,
 t.Name,
 d.CatNum&"-"&t.CatKey AS CatNum,
 d.DeptCatKey,
 t.CatKey AS TitleCatKey,
 ID_Dept,
 d.ID_Supplier

FROM

 Titles AS t
 LEFT JOIN qryCatNum_Depts AS d
   ON t.ID_dept=d.ID</sql>

(Step 1aa) qryVb_Items_updates

<sql>SELECT

 BuildOption(g.Code,gt.GroupCode,o.CatKey) AS CatSfx,
 t.ID&CatSfx AS IDS_Update,
 t.CatNum&CatSfx AS CatNum,
 t.ID AS ID_Title,
 g.ID AS ID_TGroup,
 gt.ID AS ID_TGTitle,
 gi.ID AS ID_TGItem,
 gi.ID_ItemType AS ID_ItTyp,
 gi.ID_Option AS ID_ItOpt

FROM ( ( ( ( qryCatNum_Titles AS t

       LEFT JOIN [TGroup Titles] AS gt
         ON gt.ID_Title=t.ID
      )
      LEFT JOIN TGroups AS g
        ON g.ID=gt.ID_TGroup
    )
    LEFT JOIN qryCatalogs_Active AS c
      ON gt.ID_Catalog=c.ID
  )
  LEFT JOIN [TGroup Items] AS gi
    ON gi.ID_TGroup=g.ID
)
LEFT JOIN Options AS o
  ON gi.ID_Option=o.ID

WHERE

 (c.ID IS NOT NULL)
 AND g.Active
 AND gt.Active
 AND ((gt.WhenDiscont IS NULL) OR (gt.WhenDiscont>Now))
 AND gi.Active;</sql>

(Step 1a) qryVb_Items_updates_new

<sql>SELECT c.*

 FROM qryVb_Items_Updates AS c
 LEFT JOIN [calc Item Updates saved] AS s
   ON c.IDS_Update=s.IDS_Update
   WHERE s.IDS_Update IS NULL;</sql>

(Step 1) qryVb_Items_updates_append

<sql>INSERT INTO [calc Item Updates saved] (

 ID_Item,
 IDS_Update,
 ID_Title,
 ID_TGroup,
 ID_TGTitle,
 ID_TGItem,
 ID_ItTyp,
 ID_ItOpt )

SELECT

 NULL,
 IDS_Update,
 ID_Title,
 ID_TGroup,
 ID_TGTitle,
 ID_TGItem,
 ID_ItTyp,
 ID_ItOpt

FROM qryVb_Items_Updates_new;</sql>

(Step 1b) qryVb_Items_updates_copy_fields

<sql>UPDATE

 [calc Item Updates saved] AS s
 LEFT JOIN qryVb_Items_updates AS u
   ON s.IDS_Update=u.IDS_Update
 SET
   s.ID_ItTyp = u.ID_ItTyp,
   s.ID_ItOpt = u.ID_ItOpt;</sql>

(Step 2a) qryVb_Items_results

<sql>SELECT

 s.ID_Item,
 s.CatNum,
 (
   tg.Active AND
   (
     (tgt.WhenDiscont Is Null)
   OR
     (tgt.WhenDiscont>Now())
   )
 AND tgt.Active AND tgi.Active AND (c.ID_Supercede Is Null)
 ) AS isForSale,
 isForSale AND NOT c.isCloseOut AS isInPrint,
 c.isCloseOut,

 s.CatSfx,
 tg.TitleSort & it.Sort & o.Sort AS ItOpt_Sort

FROM ( ( ( ( ( [calc Item Updates saved] AS s

         LEFT JOIN TGroups AS tg

        ) LEFT JOIN [TGroup Titles] AS tgt
            ON s.ID_TGTitle = tgt.ID

  ) LEFT JOIN Options AS o
      ON tgi.ID_Option = o.ID
) LEFT JOIN [Item Types] AS it
    ON tgi.ID_ItemType = it.ID;</sql>

(Step 2) qryVb_Items_results_append

This adds new cat_items rows for any calculated items not already cross-referenced. It doesn't cross-reference them, however. That is done by the next query. <sql>INSERT INTO cat_items (

 CatNum,
 isForSale,
 isMaster,
 isInPrint,
 isCloseOut,
 ID_ItTyp,
 ID_ItOpt,
 ItOpt_Descr,
 ItOpt_Sort,
 ID_ShipCost,
 PriceBuy,
 PriceSell,
 PriceList )

SELECT

 r.CatNum,
 r.isForSale,
 FALSE AS isMaster,
 r.isInPrint,
 r.isCloseOut,
 r.ID_ItTyp,
 r.ID_ItOpt,
 r.ItOpt_Descr,
 r.ItOpt_Sort,
 r.ID_ShipCost,
 r.PriceBuy,
 r.PriceSell,
 r.PriceList

FROM

 qryVb_Items_Results AS r
 LEFT JOIN cat_items AS i
   ON r.ID_Item=i.ID
 WHERE i.ID IS NULL;</sql>

(Step 3) qryVb_Items_updates_index_new

<sql>UPDATE

 [calc Item Updates saved] AS s
 LEFT JOIN cat_items AS i
   ON
     (i.ID_Title=s.ID_Title)
     AND (i.ID_ItTyp=s.ID_ItTyp)
     AND (i.ID_ItOpt=s.ID_ItOpt)
 SET s.ID_Item = i.ID
 WHERE s.ID_Item IS NULL;</sql>

(Step 4) qryVb_Items_results_update

<sql>UPDATE

 qryVb_Items_Results AS r
 LEFT JOIN cat_items AS i
   ON r.ID_Item=i.ID
 SET
   i.CatNum = r.CatNum,
   i.isForSale = r.isForSale,
   i.isInPrint = r.isInPrint,
   i.isCloseOut = r.isCloseOut,
   i.ID_ItTyp = r.ID_ItTyp,
   i.ID_ItOpt = r.ID_ItOpt,
   i.ItOpt_Descr = iif(r.ItOpt_Descr IS NULL,i.ItOpt_Descr,r.ItOpt_Descr),
   i.ItOpt_Sort = r.ItOpt_Sort,
   i.ID_ShipCost = r.ID_ShipCost,
   i.PriceBuy = r.PriceBuy,
   i.PriceSell = r.PriceSell,
   i.PriceList = r.PriceList
 WHERE r.ID_Item IS NOT NULL;</sql>
