Database Documentation

Comprehensive database documentation for Remind Tools, covering schemas, relationships, and implementation details.

Overview

Remind Tools uses Supabase (PostgreSQL) as the primary database, providing:

• Relational data storage
• Real-time subscriptions
• Row-level security
• Database functions and triggers

Money Implementation

Implementation details and SQL schemas

Core Schemas

Money Domain

The Money app uses a comprehensive schema for financial management:

Core Tables

• users - User profiles and settings
• accounts - Financial accounts
• transactions - Transaction records
• categories - Transaction categories
• budgets - Budget definitions
• goals - Financial goals

Trips Domain

The Trips app schema for travel planning:

Core Tables

• trips - Trip definitions
• itineraries - Day-by-day plans
• activities - Trip activities
• accommodations - Lodging details
• transportation - Travel bookings

Database Features

Row-Level Security (RLS)

All tables implement RLS policies:

-- Example: Users can only see their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users can view own data" ON transactions
  FOR SELECT USING (auth.uid() = user_id);

CREATE POLICY "Users can insert own data" ON transactions
  FOR INSERT WITH CHECK (auth.uid() = user_id);

Real-time Subscriptions

Enable real-time updates for collaborative features:

final subscription = supabase
  .from('transactions')
  .stream(primaryKey: ['id'])
  .eq('user_id', userId)
  .listen((data) {
    // Handle real-time updates
  });

Database Functions

Custom PostgreSQL functions for complex operations:

-- Calculate account balance
CREATE FUNCTION calculate_balance(account_id UUID)
RETURNS DECIMAL AS $$
  SELECT COALESCE(SUM(
    CASE 
      WHEN type = 'income' THEN amount
      ELSE -amount
    END
  ), 0)
  FROM transactions
  WHERE account_id = $1;
$$ LANGUAGE SQL;

Migration Strategy

Database migrations are managed through:

1. Version Control: All migrations in supabase/migrations/
2. Sequential Execution: Numbered migration files
3. Rollback Support: Down migrations for reversibility
4. Testing: Migration testing in staging environment

Performance Optimization

Indexing Strategy

-- Composite indexes for common queries
CREATE INDEX idx_transactions_user_date 
  ON transactions(user_id, transaction_date DESC);

-- Partial indexes for filtered queries
CREATE INDEX idx_active_budgets 
  ON budgets(user_id) 
  WHERE is_active = true;

Query Optimization

• Use database views for complex queries
• Implement materialized views for reporting
• Leverage database functions for calculations
• Use proper indexing strategies

Backup & Recovery

• Automated Backups: Daily automated backups
• Point-in-time Recovery: Up to 7 days
• Manual Snapshots: Before major migrations
• Export Tools: Regular data exports

Security Considerations

1. Encryption at Rest: All data encrypted
2. SSL/TLS: Encrypted connections
3. Access Control: Role-based permissions
4. Audit Logging: Track all modifications
5. Data Masking: Sensitive data protection
