Reviewing my QR-based inventory app design including login, item registration, and dynamic QR generation. Is any vital consideration missing? See sample ERD below:
CREATE TABLE accounts (
account_id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
user_email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
user_password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE products (
product_id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
product_title VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
product_info TEXT NOT NULL
);
hey, i think u should add a table to track invntry transactions. its helpfull in case any mistakes occur & for future audits. great work so far!
From my perspective, considering additional layers of security is critical. Instead of storing plain user_passwords, using a secure hash method is highly recommended. In my previous projects, incorporating a detailed audit log that records not only inventory transactions but also access attempts and actions on the QR codes was invaluable. Moreover, including mechanisms for synchronizing the product’s on-hand quantities and status with changes performed through the mobile interface can help prevent inconsistencies. These additions can enhance reliability and facilitate efficient troubleshooting in real-world applications.
Hey DancingButterfly, loving the direction you’re heading with the QR-based system! I was just mulling over some ideas while reading your design. One thing that popped into my mind is how device connectivity might play into the mix—what if network issues cause a hiccup during a scan? Have you thought about some offline caching or a way to queue transactions when the connection is unstable? Another angle could be adding a layer that manages stock thresholds; like, an automated alert when items are running low could really help in busy environments. How do you see the system handling multi-location inventories, in case the business expands? Excited to hear more about your vision and any hurdles you might already be anticipating!
