Synchronizing orders in the CustDB sample

Business rules

The business rules for the ULOrder table are as follows:

  • Orders are downloaded only if they are not approved or the status is null.

  • Orders can be modified at both the consolidated and remote databases.

  • Each remote database contains only the orders assigned to an employee.

Downloads

Orders can be inserted, deleted, or updated at the consolidated database. The scripts corresponding to these operations are as follows:

  • download_cursor   The first parameter in the download_cursor script is the last download timestamp. It is used to ensure that only rows that have been modified on either the remote or the consolidated database since the last synchronization are downloaded. The second parameter is the employee ID. It is used to determine which rows to download.

    The download_cursor script for CustDB is as follows:

    CALL ULOrderDownload( {ml s.last_table_download}, {ml s.username} )

    The ULOrderDownload procedure for CustDB is as follows:

    CREATE PROCEDURE ULOrderDownload ( IN LastDownload timestamp, IN EmployeeID integer )
    BEGIN`
      SELECT o.order_id, o.cust_id, o.prod_id, o.emp_id, o.disc, o.quant, o.notes, o.status
        FROM ULOrder o, ULEmpCust ec
        WHERE o.cust_id = ec.cust_id
        AND ec.emp_id = EmployeeID
        AND ( o.last_modified >= LastDownload
        OR ec.last_modified >= LastDownload)
        AND ( o.status IS NULL  OR  o.status != 'Approved' )
        AND ( ec.action IS NULL )
    END

      WHERE o.cust_id = ec.cust_id 
        AND ( ( o.status = ''Approved'' AND o.last_modified >= {ml s.last_table_download} ) 
        OR ( ec.action = ''D''  )  )

        FROM ULNewOrder n
        WHERE o.order_id = n.order_id;
      END IF;
      DELETE FROM ULOldOrder;
      DELETE FROM ULNewOrder;
