PostgreSQL and DbVisualizer for Better Inventory Management

Efficient inventory management is crucial for businesses. This article provides a brief guide on using PostgreSQL and DbVisualizer to handle and visualize inventory data.

SQL Query Examples for Managing Inventory

Some practical SQL queries to manage your inventory data include:

Compute Total Sales, to determine sales revenue for each product over the last 6 months.

SELECT "SKU_number", "PriceReg" * "ItemCount" AS "TotalSales"
FROM inventorydata
WHERE "SoldFlag" = 'True';
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Find Unsold Items, identify items that weren’t sold in the last six months.

SELECT COUNT("SKU_number")
FROM inventorydata
WHERE "SoldFlag" = 'False';
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Top 10 Products by Sales, retrieve the ten best-selling products.

SELECT "SKU_number", "PriceReg" * "ItemCount" AS "TotalSales"
FROM inventorydata
WHERE "SoldFlag" = 'True'
GROUP BY "SKU_number", "TotalSales"
ORDER BY "TotalSales" DESC
LIMIT 10;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
