If your store has 200,000 of an item is stock at any one time, I
rather suspect it does not sell them one at a time!

If you sell the item in packs, then the pack is the stock keeping
unit, and the database should have one record per pack.

For metered products, different answers apply. I rather suspect you will
have to keep running totals.
