Manage relationship between product and stock using SKU












-2















My e-commerce database model has these tables.



enter image description here



My question is how can i manage relationship between stock and product. Since a product has a color, brand, sub_category and a size, should I use another table
to store SKU for each variation and connect it with stock ? or do you suggest another approach ?



Thank you

          Seems like you have a row for each product variant in product. So a foreign key referencing product.idproduct in stock should be enough. You can get the color, brand, etc. by joining the respective tables.



          Or are there reasons why you don't want that?
