Database Schema Design: From Concept to Implementation
A well-designed database schema is the foundation of a successful application. Vibecoding generates optimized schemasautomatically, incorporating normalization principles and performance considerations.
Normalization
Database normalization reduces redundancy and improves data integrity. Understand normal forms and apply them appropriately. However, sometimes denormalization is necessary for performance.
Indexing Strategy
Proper indexing dramatically improves query performance. Index on columns used in WHERE clauses and joins, but avoid over-indexing which slows writes.
Constraints and Relationships
Use constraints to enforce data integrity. Define foreign keys for relationships, unique constraints to prevent duplicates, and check constraints to enforce data rules.
