In one of my projects, I created a data model for an order management system. First, I analyzed the requirements and identified the main entities: Order, Customer, Product.
Then, I defined the fields and data types for each entity, considering the relationships between them. For example, Order contained a reference to Customer and a list of Product with quantities.
To structure the model, I used an object-oriented approach with classes and one-to-many and many-to-many relationships. In the database, this was reflected through tables with foreign keys.
Example in Java:
class Customer {
Long id;
String name;
List<Order> orders;
}
class Order {
Long id;
Customer customer;
List<OrderItem> items;
}
class OrderItem {
Product product;
int quantity;
}
class Product {
Long id;
String name;
double price;
}
This approach provided a clear data structure and ease of working with it in the application.
