DROP TABLE IF EXISTS categories; -- is a list of categories(lists): type: reading_list, authors, notes, etc it's a type but type is also a keyword in python so better avoiding it DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cards; --the single entry of any category/type DROP TABLE IF EXISTS topics; -- test table weaved on measure for this test DROP TABLE IF EXISTS topic_cards; -- table creation CREATE TABLE categories ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, created TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, category_name TEXT NOT NULL -- remember to not write the comma here at the end of each table ); CREATE TABLE cards ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, category_id INTEGER NOT NULL, created TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, content TEXT NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY (category_id) REFERENCES categories (id) ); -- CREATE TABLE relations ( -- id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, -- ) CREATE TABLE topics ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, content TEXT NOT NULL ); -- join table cards-topic but will i need also topic-card?? having a table of relations would maybe be a better approach? and a table of actions? (like upload file) CREATE TABLE topic_cards ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, topic_id INTEGER, card_id INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (topic_id) REFERENCES topics(id), FOREIGN KEY (card_id) REFERENCES cards(id) )
