Database Design

Entity-Relationship Design:

-- Users table
CREATE TABLE users (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    username VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,

    CONSTRAINT check_email CHECK (email ~* '^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}$')
);

-- Posts table
CREATE TABLE posts (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    user_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    title VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL,
    content TEXT NOT NULL,
    status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'draft' CHECK (status IN ('draft', 'published', 'archived')),
    published_at TIMESTAMP,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

    INDEX idx_user_id (user_id),
    INDEX idx_status (status),
    INDEX idx_published_at (published_at)
);

-- Comments table (one-to-many with posts)
CREATE TABLE comments (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    post_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES posts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    user_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    content TEXT NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

    INDEX idx_post_id (post_id),
    INDEX idx_user_id (user_id)
);

-- Tags table (many-to-many with posts)
CREATE TABLE tags (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    slug VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL,

    INDEX idx_slug (slug)
);

CREATE TABLE post_tags (
    post_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES posts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    tag_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES tags(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,

    PRIMARY KEY (post_id, tag_id),
    INDEX idx_tag_id (tag_id)
);
