Creating vouchers > around 100 per hour is the kind of load involved. Creating vouchers will involve a form where all the accounts in the database are listed. The user then credits one or more accounts and the same amount will be debited from one ore more accounts. The current balance of a given set of accounts should be available add-hock as soon as it is selected for the transaction. at one time more than 10 people might be issuing such vouchers and at times the system will sit idal doing nothing at all. Once or twice a day, the accountant would generate reports on the opening stock or closing stock of inventory and also daily sales reports etc. This will involve a lot of calculations at the server side. Another aspect is the on-line banking which will have a slightly more trafic and more data to serve, at times about 25 + requests every second and add to it there will be lots of accounts and many different transactions going on all the time.
This is the entire situation which the application will face. Happy hacking.
