Hi,
I'm creating a database for e-commerce website and its inventory system. There products and every product is divided into further unique SKUs on the basis of size,color and other options. So i've created a table for products and another for its units. I'm thinking about creating a third table which contains options with option name and values as columns.
PRODUCT -|--------|< PRODUCT_UNIT -|-------|< OPTIONS
But i'm thinking that this might be difficult to handle when the products will be displayed on a webpage with options. Is there any other way to handle it?
Thank You!
