I want to try out a postulate regarding modelling of datavalues, and more specific DV_QUANTITY.
The postulate is: Postulate 1: A data type of DV_QUANTITY should be modelled with fewest possible units! Reason behind this is to make queries and reasoning over the values easy. This makes it both faster and safer building sustainable software and systems using these values. I also think that converting between i.e. grams and kilos should be done in the client (user interface / integration engine/ etc.). What do you think?
