pre-requisites

• setup postgres db with a username and password and database

setup

• setup_sql/01_schema.sql setup the application tables
• create a table of data to forecast
• setup_sql/02_target_info.sql to populate the meta table (edit table name)
• fill out the target_meta table
• setup_sql/03_build_maste_tables.sql to create master data tables from forecast data
• ./routes/baseline/generate_route_sql.sh to create the baseline sql used by the /baseline route

								version
								iter
								logid

• func:
  • a foreign key and table is setup (except date types)
  • baseline function does a group-by to compact data for any func/appcol and value types are aggregated
• fkey:
  • primary key of assoicated data and foreign key basis
  • for date types no foreign key is setup, but dynamic table joins use the fkey field to join on
• fcol: associated field from the master data table if it is different (oseas would refer to ssyr in fc.perd)
• pretty: display column name (user friendly)
• appcol: flag columns that will be needed by the application
  • order_date
  • ship_date
  • customer
  • item
  • order_stats
  • units
  • cost
  • value
  • version (added if missing)
  • iter (added if missing)
  • logid (added if missing)

issues

• use sql stored in table instead of pulling from file
• include building all the route sql as setup step
• baseline request json is not depostiing correctly into the sql
• what if you create a func table but some of the values are null? (orders without quotes)
• what if you want certain things like invoice numbers included in the baseline, is a func table necesary? no, just leave fkey null and no table will be setup
• baseline needs to populate all columns in sequential order like the scale route
• what if there is more than one table in fc.target_meta
• validate the ability to join to associated date tables, for example order season that needs incremented
• there is not currently any initial grouping to limit excess data from all the document# scenarios
• how to handle a target value adjustment, which currency is it in?
