SysNotes devlog 1.5 (backend edition)

Hi all! In this post I will continue the development of my plurality management web-app SysNotes. Today I will be focusing mostly on setting up the databases for the app, as currently test data is stored in the code itself. This severely limits the interactivity and features of the web-app, so it is time to separate it.

In this devlog, I will explain the basics of databases and how the Laravel framework interacts with them to give you an idea of what goes on on my screen and in my brain while I code. This will just be an overview of some technical behind the scenes, nothing will have changed on the front end of the app.

If you missed the first devlog, you can find it here.

What is a database?

A database at the most basic level is a type of file format that has tables. You can think of it as a "spreadsheet file" like the ones you can open in Excel or Google Sheets. The main structural difference between a database and a spreadsheet is that in a database the tables can have relationships. For example, the relationship between a users table and a posts table is that one user can make many posts, and a post can only belong to one user. This is a one-to-many relationship. You can ask the database to give you all the posts related to a specific user. In my app, each user account will have multiple alter profiles, for example. When a user logs in, the app will only fetch the alter profiles that this user created, and show the profiles to them. You can do a whole bunch of other things with databases, that's why I like them! The main functional difference between a database and a spreadsheet is that a spreadsheet is used for data analysis and manipulation, like a fancy calculator, while a database is used to store data. Each table stores data related to one type of object/person/place. Like how spreadsheets can be opened in Excel, database tables can be opened in database software such as MySQL Workbench or HeidiSQL, which is what I'm using since it came with Laragon.

(What my Heidi DB looks like at the end of the devlog)

Plan for today

The users table already exists in my app as a result of installing the Laravel Breeze starter kit, so I don't have to worry about designing this table. With that out of the way, I can think about adding feature-related tables. The first feature I'm adding to my app is the ability to create alter profiles and to fill in the sections on the profile page. The first step is therefore to create an "alter profiles" table and to normalize it (more on that in a bit).

Setting up the database tables (and why it's a pain)

Migration files

When using the Laravel framework, you're not supposed to create a new table or edit an existing table through the database itself - it has to all be done through code. This is done using a file called a database migration. The migration specifies the table name, what columns it should have, what data types the columns should be, and what other tables this table may be related to. This is done so that if you give the code to another person and they download and ran it, their database will be set up the exact same way is yours. Therefore, the migration file makes your database changes portable, which is especially useful when copying code from your personal computer onto the server where the web-app is running. You don't want to set up your local database and then find out that it doesn't work the same way as the one that runs the actual app! Migrations aren't just for creating a new table. You also need to make a migration file for every structural change you want to make for that table, such as adding a new column or changing a column's name. Updating a table's structure after it's already been set up and filled with data has a chance of corrupting the data. Therefore, I always impose this expectation of myself of always getting the database structure right on the first try (i.e. in just one migration).

(My migration file for the alter profiles table at the end of this devlog)

Normalization

Normalization is the act of splitting up a table into 2 or more tables in order to simplify the data structure, reduce duplication, and make database queries more efficient. To illustrate, let's consider the alter profiles table. An alter can have several traits, such as "energetic" or "nervous" and so on. Let's say we should store it in a "traits" column like so:

Now let's say we decide that the word "sad" isn't quite the right descriptor, and we want to change it to "melancholic". To do that, we would need to edit every instance of this word in the table. In this example, it would only be in 2 places: on Benji's profile and on Colin's profile. But what if there were many melancholic alters? That sounds like a lot of work! What if you misspell it on accident somewhere? You won't be able to filter alters by trait properly! Instead what would be better to do is to split (haha) the alter profile table into that and a traits table. Now we will have:

So if you wanted to change the word "sad" to "melancholic", you could do it in just one place, which makes it easier and more maintainable. This is just one small example of what normalization can be. There are actually like 7 levels of it, and even I don't remember them all. In fact, what I will be doing in my app is a step further than the example and use something called a "pivot table" - a whole new type of headache! The point is, figuring out the architecture of database tables is a whole science in on itself 😩

Actually doing the coding

After brainstorming how to normalize it, the alter profile will need to be separated into several tables: alter profiles, alter characteristic types (traits, likes, dislikes, an triggers), alter characteristic values, and alter statuses (such as active, dormant, and unknown). Each profile can then reference the characteristics and statuses tables. This way, alters can like or dislike the same thing, creating the ultimate modularity!

The (pretty technical) steps are as follows:

Create the (model with) migrations for the individual tables and specify their table structure

Create a pivot table and set foreign IDs to point to the individual tables

Define the relationships in the model files

It took me a few tries to get past migration errors, and I accidentally rolled back my migrations too many times, losing my users table 🤦‍♂️ As i don't yet have any alter data in the database, I just re-registered my account and nothing was lost. Heart attack simulator lol.

Seeding data

As I'm just working with test data, I don't really care exactly what words and images are used where as long as it works. I also don't want to pain-stakingly input test data into every field for every profile every time I have to delete (drop) and remake (migrate) a table. That's where seeding comes in. Seeding is an automated process that generates dummy data and inserts it into the database, ready for me to test. I'll admit I've never done seeding before - at work I've always worked with a copy of an existing database that has been filled by years of use. But it's never too late to learn! I used seeding to create dummy data for alter profiles and trait values (trait types and statuses has to be manually inputted because they have pre-defined values). I couldn't quite figure out how to seed pivot tables, as they define relationships rather than data. So I had to add those manually too. I still have a ways to go until I'm a real developer lol.

(My Alter Profile factory at the end of the devlog - i left pronouns blank because I wanted them to somewhat match the names, so I added them manually afterwards)

(My Alter Profile seeder at the end of the devlog)

And here are my seeded tables! The faker is limited to using Latin words so I couldn't get the characteristics to look realistic. But it will be fine for test data.

(I have changed the alter names to match the names from the previous devlog)

...All this just for the profile page! But when designing a database's architecture, it is important to anticipate ways in which the database will grow and facilitate new relationships from the start. This was a tiring coding session but it has paved the way for the new and more exciting features!

What next?

This devlog was just for setting up the database tables - in the next devlog we'll get to actually use them in the app! The plan is:

Pull data from the database into the profile pages to display the freshly generated dummy data

Add a way to create new profiles using the New Profile form

Edit the profile information

Advanced Database Design

As applications grow in size and complexity, the design of their underlying databases becomes critical for performance, scalability, and maintainability. Advanced database design goes beyond basic tables and relationships—it involves deep understanding of normalization, indexing, data modeling, and optimization strategies.

1. Data Modeling Techniques

Advanced design starts with a well-thought-out data model. Common modeling approaches include:

Entity-Relationship (ER) Model: Useful for designing relational databases.

Object-Oriented Model: Ideal when working with object-relational databases.

Star and Snowflake Schemas: Used in data warehouses for efficient querying.

2. Normalization and Denormalization

Normalization: The process of organizing data to reduce redundancy and improve integrity (up to 3NF or BCNF).

Denormalization: In some cases, duplicating data improves read performance in analytical systems.

3. Indexing Strategies

Indexes are essential for query performance. Common types include:

B-Tree Index: Standard index type in most databases.

Hash Index: Good for equality comparisons.

Composite Index: Combines multiple columns for multi-column searches.

Full-Text Index: Optimized for text search operations.

4. Partitioning and Sharding

Partitioning: Splits a large table into smaller, manageable pieces (horizontal or vertical).

Sharding: Distributes database across multiple machines for scalability.

5. Advanced SQL Techniques

Common Table Expressions (CTEs): Temporary result sets for organizing complex queries.

Window Functions: Perform calculations across a set of table rows related to the current row.

Stored Procedures & Triggers: Automate tasks and enforce business logic at the database level.

6. Data Integrity and Constraints

Primary and Foreign Keys: Enforce relational integrity.

CHECK Constraints: Validate data against specific rules.

Unique Constraints: Ensure column values are not duplicated.

7. Security and Access Control

Security is crucial in database design. Best practices include:

Implementing role-based access control (RBAC).

Encrypting sensitive data both at rest and in transit.

Using parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.

8. Backup and Recovery Planning

Design your database with disaster recovery in mind:

Automate daily backups.

Test recovery procedures regularly.

Use replication for high availability.

9. Monitoring and Optimization

Tools like pgAdmin (PostgreSQL), MySQL Workbench, and MongoDB Compass help in identifying bottlenecks and optimizing performance.

10. Choosing the Right Database System

Relational: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle (ideal for structured data and ACID compliance).

NoSQL: MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB (great for scalability and unstructured data).

NewSQL: CockroachDB, Google Spanner (combines NoSQL scalability with relational features).

Conclusion

Advanced database design is a balancing act between normalization, performance, and scalability. By applying best practices and modern tools, developers can ensure that their systems are robust, efficient, and ready to handle growing data demands. Whether you’re designing a high-traffic e-commerce app or a complex analytics engine, investing time in proper database architecture pays off in the long run.
