📊 Database Schema Summary

Tables: 5

• users (authentication & authorization)

• products (inventory management)
• transactions (sales records)
• transaction_items (sales line items)

Indexes: 11

• idx_users_email
• idx_categories_name
• idx_products_name
• idx_products_category
• idx_products_name_category (composite)
• idx_transactions_date
• idx_transaction_items_transaction
• idx_transaction_items_product

Foreign Keys: 4

• products.categoryId → categories.id (CASCADE)
• transaction_items.transactionId → transactions.id (CASCADE)
• transaction_items.productId → products.id (RESTRICT)

Relationships

• Category → Products (1:N)
• Product → TransactionItems (1:N)
• Transaction → TransactionItems (1:N, CASCADE)
• Product ← TransactionItems (N:1)

🔧 Key Implementation Features

Security

✅ Bcrypt password hashing (10 rounds) ✅ Password excluded from JSON responses ✅ Automatic hashing on insert/update ✅ SSL support for production databases

Performance

✅ Strategic indexes on frequently queried columns ✅ Composite index for complex queries ✅ Foreign key indexes for joins ✅ Date index for reporting queries

Data Integrity

✅ UUID primary keys ✅ Foreign key constraints ✅ Cascade deletes where appropriate ✅ Unique constraints (email, category name) ✅ NOT NULL constraints on required fields

Developer Experience

✅ Automatic timestamps (createdAt, updatedAt) ✅ TypeScript type safety ✅ Comprehensive seed data ✅ Up/down migration support ✅ Environment-based configuration

🚀 Next Steps to Get Running

1. Setup PostgreSQL Database

# Create database
createdb retail_pos

# Or using psql
psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE retail_pos;"

2. Configure Environment

# Update .env with your database credentials
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
DB_DATABASE=retail_pos

3. Run Migrations

npm run migration:run

4. Seed Database (Optional)

npm run seed:run

5. Verify Setup

psql -U postgres retail_pos -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM products;"
psql -U postgres retail_pos -c "SELECT name, \"productCount\" FROM categories;"

📝 Available Commands

# Run migrations
npm run migration:run

# Revert last migration
npm run migration:revert

# Generate new migration from entity changes
npm run migration:generate -- -n MigrationName

# Seed database with sample data
npm run seed:run

# TypeORM CLI access
npm run typeorm -- <command>

🎯 What's Implemented

✅ Complete database schema (5 tables, 11 indexes, 4 foreign keys) ✅ All entity definitions with proper decorators ✅ TypeORM data source configuration ✅ Initial migration file ✅ Seed scripts with sample data ✅ Environment configuration ✅ Password hashing with bcrypt ✅ Proper relationships and cascades ✅ Strategic indexing for performance ✅ Comprehensive documentation
