STOCK STATUS DATABASE

INTRODUCTION

IOM and SFC transactions cannot be broken down into relational operations
and address the application specific content of the data sets rather than the
set theory syntax of enquiries.

IOM write functions are just as complex as read only transactions, and the
informational added value is also equally distributed.

The basic IOM transactions and flow diagrams that represent them provide
useful heuristic indications for designing the stock status database.
