Usual values are
Stores: 2-5
Racks: 20
Stacks: 100
Level: 15
Depth: usually 1, sometimes 2, in rare cases up to 12
So, not that many, a large project may have up two 100_000 locations
Physical pallet locations that is.=20
The values of course varies with projects.=20

Yes, it could be mapped somehow, but this=20

Loc : location_type renames stores(2,4,7,4,1)=20

notation makes it readable.=20
And loops for finding free locations are fast. They had to be in ram, since=
 the location should be chosen
At a selection point on the conveyor system, without the pallet stopping. T=
hat meant
* conveyor send 'pallet at selection location'
* location selection
* send new destination to conveyor

This had to be fast, serial lines was used, and databases were not that fas=
t.=20
