Database Design Best Practice - Order processing database - Where updates to products could effectively change a closed invoice?

This is related to the "Slowly Changing Dimension" problem in data warehouses. There are a half-dozen standard solutions.

Need to make a clear distinction between the price of a product, perhaps its default-price (in the Product table) and the price it was actually sold at (held in the InvoiceLine table ).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
