I am developing an application where a user submits a mission and other users accept the mission.
Pretty simple.
I want to keep a track of the mission progress status and store it into a database.
Which would be more appropriately:
1.having the following enums in a database column:
PRICE_NEGOTIATION,
DEPOSIT_NEGOTIATION,
MISSION_STARTED,
DEMO_RECEIVED,
DEMO_APPROVED,
DEMO_UNAPPROVED,
PAYMENT_DONE,
PAYMENT_PENDING,
PRICE_NEGOTIATION_UNAPPROVED_BY_CREATOR,
PRICE_NEGOTIATION_UNAPPROVED_BY_ACCEPTOR,
DEPOSIT_NEGOTIATION_UNAPPROVED_BY_CREATOR,
DEPOSIT_NEGOTIATION_UNAPPROVED_BY_ACCEPTOR,
MISSION_CANCELED_AFTER_START_BY_CREATOR,
MISSION_CANCELED_AFTER_START_BY_ACCEPTOR,
MISSION_CANCELED_AFTER_DEMO_UNAPPROVEMENT,
and so on..
- having more than one column in the database where one of them gives a cancel reason, another one that holds who canceled the mission and another one about the payment status.
any better suggestions?
10x in advance and sorry if the question is too much opinion based.
