The wages of sin: Hit that database one more time…

Join For Freethis time, this is a review of the sharp commerce application. again, i have stumbled upon the application by pure chance, and i have very little notion about who wrote it.
you might have wondered why i named this blog series the way i did, i named it because of the method outline below. please note that i had to invent a new system to visualize the data access behavior on this system:
- in red, we have queries that are executed once: 3 queries total.
- in aqua, we have queries that are executed once for each item in the order: 2 queries per each product in the order.
- in purple, we have queries that are executed once for each attribute in each of the products in the order: 1 query per attribute per product in the order.
now, just to give you some idea, let us say that i order 5 items, and each item have 5 attributes…
we get the following queries:
- 3 queries – basic method cost
- 10 queries – 2 queries per each product
- 25 queries – 1 query for each attribute for each product
totaling in 38 queries for creating a fairly simple order. after seeing this during the course review of the application, i have used that term for this method, because it is almost too easy to make those sort of mistakes.
