π§ Detailed Migrations
1. PRODUCT_MULTIPRICES - Sistema de Multiprecios
β CompletedProblem: Complex multi-price calculations performed in PHP with dispersed logic.
Solution: Complete PostgreSQL system with cascade calculations and configurable rules.
π» Main Function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION llx_product_generate_multiprices(
p_product_id integer,
p_base_price numeric,
p_price_type varchar(3),
p_tva_tx numeric,
p_price_min numeric DEFAULT 0,
p_user_id integer DEFAULT 1
)
RETURNS TABLE(level integer, price numeric, price_ttc numeric)
LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
DECLARE
v_rule record;
v_prices numeric[];
v_limit integer;
BEGIN
-- Obtener lΓmite de niveles
v_limit := get_config_value('PRODUIT_MULTIPRICES_LIMIT', 1, '5')::integer;
v_prices := array_fill(0::numeric, ARRAY[v_limit]);
-- Precio base (nivel 1)
v_prices[1] := p_base_price;
-- Calcular precios por niveles
FOR v_rule IN
SELECT * FROM llx_product_pricerules
WHERE active = 1
ORDER BY level
LOOP
IF v_rule.level <= v_limit THEN
IF v_rule.fk_level > 0 AND v_rule.fk_level <= v_limit THEN
-- Basado en otro nivel
v_prices[v_rule.level] := v_prices[v_rule.fk_level] *
(1 + v_rule.var_percent / 100);
ELSE
-- Basado en precio base
v_prices[v_rule.level] := p_base_price *
(1 + v_rule.var_percent / 100);
END IF;
END IF;
END LOOP;
-- Retornar resultados
FOR i IN 1..v_limit LOOP
RETURN QUERY SELECT
i::integer as level,
v_prices[i] as price,
v_prices[i] * (1 + p_tva_tx / 100) as price_ttc;
END LOOP;
END;
$$;
2. COMMANDE_CANCEL_STOCK - Cancellation with Stock
β CompletedProblem: Order cancellation did not automatically revert stock, causing inconsistencies.
Solution: Automatic triggers that guarantee complete transactional integrity.
3. CATEGORIES_COMPLEX_QUERIES - Optimized Queries
β CompletedProblem: Inefficient hierarchical category queries with N+1 queries.
Solution: Recursive CTEs and optimized views with pre-calculated statistics.
4. BANK_BALANCE_VIEWS - Smart Cache
β CompletedProblem: Expensive bank balance calculations executed repeatedly.
Solution: Smart cache system with automatic invalidation by triggers.
5. FACTURE_REF_CONSISTENCY - Centralized References
β CompletedProblem: Duplicated reference generation between PHP and PostgreSQL.
Solution: Complete centralization in PostgreSQL with maintained compatibility.
π― Applied Architectural Patterns
Smart Cache
Cache table + trigger invalidation for expensive data calculations
Cascade Calculations
Temporary arrays for calculations that depend on other calculations
Integrity Triggers
Automation of reversions and consistency maintenance
Recursive CTEs
Hierarchical queries optimized for tree structures
Multimode Functions
Functions with configuration parameters for flexibility
Views with Statistics
Statistics pre-calculation to avoid N+1 queries
π§ Technical Knowledge Acquired
PostgreSQL Arrays
Use of arrays to store temporary results in complex calculations
v_prices := array_fill(0::numeric, ARRAY[v_limit]);
v_prices[nivel] := precio_calculado;
NOTIFY/LISTEN
Asynchronous notification system for background processes
PERFORM pg_notify('product_multiprice_update',
json_build_object('product_id', NEW.rowid)::text);
ON CONFLICT Upserts
Atomic insert or update for cache systems
INSERT INTO cache (...) VALUES (...)
ON CONFLICT (key) DO UPDATE SET
value = EXCLUDED.value;
generate_series
Efficient generation of temporary data for tests and calculations
SELECT generate_series(fecha_inicio, fecha_fin, '1 day'::interval)
π Lessons Learned
π΄ Critical
- Verify structure: Always use \d table before writing SQL
- Explicit types: Cast ::integer, ::smallint to avoid errors
- Reserved words: Use double quotes for "position", "type"
- Never assume: Verify real column names
π‘ Important
- Tests first: Create tests immediately after functions.sql
- Simplicity: Better simple and working than perfect and broken
- Fast iteration: Small changes tested frequently
- Document process: Not just results
π’ Best Practices
- Temporary files: Use organized structure during development
- Progress tracking: Keep progress log updated
- Reusable patterns: Document for future migrations
- Knowledge capture: Document everything learned
π Installation
1. Execute Functions SQL (in order)
psql -d dolibarrdev -f migrations_temp/01_PRODUCT_MULTIPRICES/functions.sql
psql -d dolibarrdev -f migrations_temp/02_COMMANDE_CANCEL_STOCK/functions.sql
psql -d dolibarrdev -f migrations_temp/04_CATEGORIES_COMPLEX_QUERIES/functions_simple.sql
psql -d dolibarrdev -f migrations_temp/05_BANK_BALANCE_VIEWS/functions.sql
2. Apply PHP Changes
# Review and apply according to php_changes.md files from each migration
# Example for invoices:
# Modify getNextNumRef() to use llx_facture_get_next_ref()
3. Execute Validation Tests
psql -d dolibarrdev -f migrations_temp/*/tests.sql
4. Update Cache (only for balances)
SELECT llx_bank_account_update_balance_cache();
