worked on so far

setup

the basic assumption is a single sales table is available to work with that has a lot of related data that came from master data tables originally. the goal then is to break that back apart to whatever degree is necessary.

• run schema.sql and perd.sql to setup basic tables
• create a table fc.live as copied from target (will need to have columns version and iter added if not existing)
• run target_info.sql to populate the fc.target_meta table that holds all the columns and their roles
• fill in flags on table fc.target_meta to show how the data is related
• run build_master_tables.sql to generate foreign key based master data

baseline

• copy history and increment by year to form a baseline
  • need to be able to handle order/ship dates generically
  • need to build the baseline sql, column lists will have to be generated dynamically with modifications (list all the dates + 1 year)
