I found the idea excellent! But we have to analyze the situation better for
not having a table with many records, impacting on the performance of the
database. Let me give an example of a client of mine:
4245 quotes
317 Sales Order
1511 Invoices
22,163 Contacts
7942 Accounts
356 Leads
Total of 36,534 records.
That's because the company is small, with only 20 employees using vtiger.
If we pass this number to a large company, does not lose much in
performance?
Well, still find value in this idea, would greatly reduce the complexity in
development. Soon I vote +1 too.
P.S. Sorry if my English is very difficult to read, but if you blame the
google translator! lol
