It can be a bit of a headache at some times. No documentation at all. The way it's build is at least fairly compartmentalized and everything follows the same flow but certain parts like this module is a bit more complex. A lot of time gets eaten up just by understanding how things are supposed to work.

It doesn't help that I got a lot of duties that are quite spread out which means that when something pops up in a part which I haven't familiarized myself with it's so much harder.

And lastly the entire system is a classic case of a program or suit of programs in this case which has grown in scope as different needs has come up.


For example there are several types of "orders" which are stored in different tables. There are customer orders, which is the entire order of what they want and how much, shipping orders which specify when and what things are to be delivered, these are related to the customer order. Then we have at least two types of internal productions order which are there to specify when we need to produce what. All complete with poor name conventions and lack of documentation. Sniff | :^)

The upside is that people see me as some sort of magician when there is a problem and quickly figures it out.

I'm a good problem solver but average programmer with zero database experience before I started working here and originally was hired to program robots. Laugh | :laugh:
