SQL schema

Your project this week is to build a web app that stores data in a SQLite database.

Spike

Before you start writing features you need to design the schema for your data. Think about what different things your app needs to store, how they relate to each other, and how you can avoid duplicating information. Record your schema in your README.md using Markdown tables. Consider embedding a diagram to help visualise the relationships.

Questions to consider

What kinds of data relationships are there? What’s a foreign key? How can they help us design schemas with relational data? Useful resources

User stories

Core

As a user, I want to: submit information to your site for anyone to see As a user, I want to: come back to your site later and see what I posted is still there Since this project is open-ended you’ll need to write your own more specific user stories once you know what you want to build.
