Database Design for a double entry accounting system -

-

Should journal entries be entered into a database design?

The real world makes sense to keep a daily entry book, then later the daily entry transfers the book into double entry accounts. But in the computerized version, doing this generates duplicate records and does not quite make sense? 

  Real Life: User --- & gt; Journal Day Book (Single Entry) --- & gt; The Leasure Account (Double Entry)

The thing about double entry book-uping is That any trained accountant will understand this immediately, so if you are creating a system for accountants, then if you model your domain perfectly, then it will make communication easier. There may be business rules that can be implemented only in a double entry model (just one guess on my part).

It also provides a good audit trail, which is always useful.

Edit

"I was more interested in knowing whether or not I should record journal entries"

If I was presenting a logical data model for a group of users from an accounting background, then surely the journal would be included as a unit. However, when it came to the physical database, I would like to apply it as a view on the laser table.

windows - Heroku throws SQLITE3 Read only exception -

After I deploy the app to Heroku, I have to run migration scripts and get this error message ... ITES \ padrino \ prophetmargin & gt; Heroku Rack AR: Rack mutated! SQLite3 :: ReadOnlyException: only one try to write database to read: CREATE TABLE "schema_migrations" ( "version" varchar (255) NOT NULL) /disk1/home/slugs/215264_925fd2c_65a3/mnt/.bundle/gems/gems/ padrino-core- is 0.9.11 / lib / padrino-core / cli / rake.rb: 9: in `init ' how can this be? I also tried to run Heroku dbpush SQLite: //db/my-db.db and that did not work Horoku sqlite3 but using postgres does not do. I'm not sure why you are receiving this error, however, as I have used sqlite3 in development and when pushing it into its travel, they do some magic which migrates to postgrads. I'm absolutely sure how Heroku does 'backwash' this database but it seems that this is happening to you because it's the SQLite db file which is obviously due to Heroku's

lex - Building a lexical Analyzer in Java -

-
I am currently learning lexical analysis in compiler design. To know how a lexical analyzer actually works, I am trying to build myself. I am planning to make it in Java The input to the lexical analyzer is a .tex file that is of the following format. \ section {script} {intro} \ section {Scope} arbitrary text \ section {relevance} uncontrolled text \ subdivision (profit) arbitrary text \ subsubsection {in real life} \ subdivision {Ingredient} \ end {document} The output of the lecture may be a table of contents with a page number in another file. 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Scope 1 1.2 Relevance 2 1.2.1 Benefits 2 1.2.1.1 Real life 2 1.2.2 loss 3 I hope that This problem is within the scope of Language Analysis Read the .exe file and check '\' and continue to check whether it is actually on search In the sectioning command is set to indicate whether or not a flag variable is the type of sectioning. I hope the above approach will work for the construction of Lexa

python - rename keys in a dictionary -

-
I want to change the names of keys in a dictionary which are ints, and I need them so that the inputs with key zero They can sort correctly. For example, my keys are like this: '1', '101', '11' and I may need them: '001', '101', '011' What is doing, but I know that there is a better way tmpDict = {} in the ADC for the old: t MpDict ['% 04d'% int (olden)] = addict [oldkey] New controlled = tmpDict You are going wrong about this if you want to draw entries on a line in a specific way, then you have to sort on the extraction. for sorted (D, key = int): print '% s:% R'% (k, d [k]) < / Div>
