## 1. OVERVIEW

### Database Architecture
- **Engine:** MySQL 8.0+ (my.php.id managed)
- **ORM:** Drizzle ORM (type-safe, zero-runtime)
- **Primary Key Strategy:** UUID (CHAR(36), indexed)
- **Deletion Policy:** Hybrid (soft-delete for courses/sessions, hard-delete for events)
- **Concurrency:** Optimistic locking (version field on mutable entities)
- **Reporting:** Denormalized SessionDashboard view for fast teacher dashboard queries

### Core Principles
1. **Normalized for writes** — Reduce duplication, maintain consistency
2. **Denormalized for reads** — SessionDashboard view for 2-5 sec polling queries
3. **Immutable event log** — StatusEvent table is append-only, never modified
4. **Soft-delete for audit trail** — Course/Session keep historical data via deleted_at
5. **Optimistic locking** — Prevent concurrent modification conflicts

---

## 2. ENTITY DEFINITIONS

});
```

**Fields:**
- `id` (UUID, PK): Dashboard record ID
- `session_id` (UUID, UNIQUE, FK): Maps to CourseSession
- `red_count` (int): Current Red count (denormalized)
- `yellow_count` (int): Current Yellow count (denormalized)
- `green_count` (int): Current Green count (denormalized)
- `total_participants` (int): Total who joined
- `active_participants` (int): Still in session
- `elapsed_seconds` (int): Time since start
- `last_updated` (timestamp): When this was last computed

**Indexes:**
```sql
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_session_dashboard_session_id ON session_dashboard(session_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_session_dashboard_last_updated ON session_dashboard(last_updated DESC);
```

**Update Strategy:**
- Computed via trigger OR batch job when status_events are inserted
- Queries this table (not StatusEvent) for teacher dashboard (fast reads)
- Uses optimistic locking to prevent lost updates

---

- `final_green_count` (int): Final Green count
- `duration_seconds` (int): Total session duration
- `created_at` (timestamp): Computed when session ends

**Indexes:**
```sql
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_session_summaries_session_id ON session_summaries(session_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_session_summaries_created_at ON session_summaries(created_at DESC);
```

**Properties:**

## 5. INDEXES & PERFORMANCE

### 5.1 Index Strategy

**Hot Queries (High Read Volume):**
```sql
-- Teacher dashboard: Real-time status counts
SELECT red_count, yellow_count, green_count, total_participants
FROM session_dashboard
WHERE session_id = ?;
-- Index: UNIQUE idx_session_dashboard_session_id

-- Current status for specific student
SELECT se.status
FROM status_events se
WHERE se.participant_id = ?
  AND se.triggered_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL 5 MINUTE
  AND se.is_reset = FALSE
ORDER BY se.triggered_at DESC
LIMIT 1;
-- Indexes: idx_status_events_participant_id, idx_status_events_triggered_at

-- List codes for session
SELECT id, code, status, usage_count
FROM join_codes
WHERE session_id = ? AND status = 'active';
-- Index: idx_join_codes_session_id, idx_join_codes_status
```

**Update Queries (When to Update Index):**
```sql
-- Update session dashboard on new status event
UPDATE session_dashboard
SET red_count = ?,
    yellow_count = ?,
    green_count = ?,
    last_updated = NOW(),
    version = version + 1
WHERE session_id = ?
  AND version = ?;
-- Handles: optimistic locking + version increment

-- Increment join code usage
UPDATE join_codes
SET usage_count = usage_count + 1
WHERE id = ?;
-- Denormalized counter for fast dashboard display
```

### 5.2 Index Creation Order

```sql
-- Primary keys (auto-created)
-- Foreign keys (needed for JOINs)
-- Unique constraints (data integrity)

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_users_google_id ON users(google_id);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_courses_session_code ON courses(session_code);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_join_codes_unique ON join_codes(session_id, code);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_session_dashboard_session_id ON session_dashboard(session_id);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_session_summaries_session_id ON session_summaries(session_id);

-- Search/Filter indexes (WHERE clauses)
CREATE INDEX idx_courses_instructor_id ON courses(instructor_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_courses_status ON courses(status);
CREATE INDEX idx_coursesessions_course_id ON course_sessions(course_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_coursesessions_is_active ON course_sessions(is_active);
CREATE INDEX idx_join_codes_session_id ON join_codes(session_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_join_codes_status ON join_codes(status);
CREATE INDEX idx_participants_session_id ON participants(session_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_participants_join_code_id ON participants(join_code_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_statusevents_participant_id ON status_events(participant_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_statusevents_triggered_at ON status_events(triggered_at DESC);

-- Soft-delete queries
CREATE INDEX idx_courses_deleted_at ON courses(deleted_at);
```

### 5.3 Query Performance Targets

| Query | Target | Current Est. | Optimization |
|-------|--------|--------------|--------------|
| Get dashboard counts | < 50ms | 5ms (direct lookup) | ✅ session_id unique |
| Get current status | < 100ms | 10ms (indexed lookup) | ✅ participant_id + triggered_at |
| List codes for session | < 100ms | 8ms (indexed) | ✅ session_id index |
| Join by code | < 200ms | 15ms (validation + insert) | ✅ code unique per session |
| Compute session summary | < 5s | ~2s (aggregate) | ✅ grouped queries |

---

## 6. DATA TYPES & CONSTRAINTS

### 6.1 Column Types (SQLite)

| Type | Use Case | Example |
|------|----------|---------|
| `text` (CHAR(36)) | Primary Keys (UUID) | `id: text` |
| `text` | Strings (varchar equiv) | `email, name, code` |
| `integer` | Numbers (32-bit) | `duration_minutes, usage_count` |
| `integer` (mode: 'timestamp') | Datetime | `created_at, session_start_time` |
| `integer` (mode: 'boolean') | Booleans (0/1) | `is_active, is_custom` |

### 6.2 Constraints

**NOT NULL:**
```
instructor_id, title, date, start_time, duration_minutes, session_code, 
participant_id, status, triggered_at, auto_reset_at
```

**UNIQUE:**
```
users: google_id, email
courses: session_code
join_codes: (session_id, code) — composite
session_dashboard: session_id
session_summaries: session_id
```

**FOREIGN KEYS (with CASCADE):**
```
courses.instructor_id → users.id (CASCADE DELETE)
course_sessions.course_id → courses.id (CASCADE DELETE)
join_codes.session_id → course_sessions.id (CASCADE DELETE)
join_codes.created_by → users.id (CASCADE DELETE)
participants.session_id → course_sessions.id (CASCADE DELETE)
participants.join_code_id → join_codes.id (SET NULL)
status_events.participant_id → participants.id (CASCADE DELETE)
```

**CHECK Constraints:**
```
courses: duration_minutes BETWEEN 30 AND 120
join_codes: status IN ('active', 'revoked')
courses: status IN ('draft', 'active', 'completed')
status_events: status IN ('red', 'yellow', 'green')
participants: join_method IN ('code', 'link')
```

## 7. MIGRATIONS STRATEGY

### 7.1 Initial Migration

**File:** `src/server/db/migrations/001_initial_schema.sql`

```sql
-- Create all 8 tables
CREATE TABLE users (
  id CHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY,
  google_id VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  name VARCHAR(255),
  profile_picture_url VARCHAR(500),
  role ENUM('teacher', 'admin') DEFAULT 'teacher',
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
  INDEX idx_google_id (google_id),
  INDEX idx_email (email),
  INDEX idx_role (role)
);

CREATE TABLE courses (
  id CHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY,
  instructor_id CHAR(36) NOT NULL,
  title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  description TEXT,
  date DATE NOT NULL,
  start_time TIME NOT NULL,
  duration_minutes INT NOT NULL CHECK (duration_minutes BETWEEN 30 AND 120),
  session_code VARCHAR(20) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  allow_anonymous BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
  status ENUM('draft', 'active', 'completed') DEFAULT 'draft',
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  deleted_at TIMESTAMP NULL,
  version INT DEFAULT 1,
  FOREIGN KEY (instructor_id) REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  UNIQUE INDEX idx_session_code (session_code),
  INDEX idx_instructor_id (instructor_id),
  INDEX idx_status (status),
  INDEX idx_deleted_at (deleted_at)
);

-- ... [rest of tables follow same pattern]
```

### 7.2 Migration Workflow

**Directory:** `src/server/db/migrations/`

```
001_initial_schema.sql        (users, courses, course_sessions, join_codes, participants, status_events, session_dashboard, session_summaries)
002_add_indices.sql           (optimize indexes if needed post-launch)
003_add_session_summary.sql   (compute initial summaries for existing sessions)
```

### 7.3 Drizzle Migrations

Using Drizzle Kit:

```bash
# Generate migration from schema changes
drizzle-kit generate:sqlite

# Apply migration
drizzle-kit push:sqlite

# Rollback (careful in production!)
drizzle-kit drop:sqlite
```

---

## 8. QUERY PATTERNS

### 8.1 Real-time Teacher Dashboard

**Get current Red/Yellow/Green counts:**

```sql
SELECT red_count, yellow_count, green_count, total_participants, elapsed_seconds
FROM session_dashboard
WHERE session_id = ?;

-- Result: { red_count: 3, yellow_count: 5, green_count: 12, total_participants: 20, elapsed_seconds: 945 }
-- Execution: < 5ms (direct lookup)
```

### 8.2 Student Join via Code

**Validate code + create participant:**

```sql
-- Step 1: Validate code
SELECT id, status, session_id
FROM join_codes
WHERE code = ? AND status = 'active';

-- Step 2: Create participant
INSERT INTO participants (id, session_id, join_code_id, join_method, name, join_timestamp, is_active)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, 'code', ?, NOW(), TRUE);

-- Step 3: Increment code usage
UPDATE join_codes SET usage_count = usage_count + 1 WHERE id = ?;
```

### 8.3 Student Taps Status

**Create status event + update dashboard:**

```sql
-- Step 1: Insert status event
INSERT INTO status_events (id, participant_id, status, triggered_at, auto_reset_at, is_reset)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, NOW(), DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 MINUTE), FALSE);

-- Step 2: Update dashboard (via trigger or batch job)
-- Trigger fires on INSERT of status_events
UPDATE session_dashboard
SET 
  red_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='red' AND is_reset=FALSE),
  yellow_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='yellow' AND is_reset=FALSE),
  green_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='green' AND is_reset=FALSE),
  last_updated = NOW(),
  version = version + 1
WHERE session_id = ?
AND version = ?;  -- Optimistic locking
```

### 8.4 Session End Summary

**Compute & store summary:**

```sql
INSERT INTO session_summaries (
  id, session_id, total_participants, participants_via_link, 
  participants_via_code, codes_generated_count, codes_revoked_count,
  final_red_count, final_yellow_count, final_green_count, duration_seconds
)
SELECT
  ?, ?, 
  COUNT(DISTINCT p.id) as total,
  COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN p.join_method = 'link' THEN p.id END) as via_link,
  COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN p.join_method = 'code' THEN p.id END) as via_code,
  COUNT(DISTINCT jc.id) as codes_gen,
  COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN jc.status = 'revoked' THEN jc.id END) as codes_revoked,
  (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='red' AND is_reset=FALSE),
  (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='yellow' AND is_reset=FALSE),
  (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='green' AND is_reset=FALSE),
  EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (? - ?))
FROM course_sessions cs
LEFT JOIN participants p ON cs.id = p.session_id
LEFT JOIN join_codes jc ON cs.id = jc.session_id
WHERE cs.id = ?;
```

## 9. DENORMALIZED VIEWS

### 9.1 SessionDashboard Materialization

**Why Denormalize:**
- Teacher dashboard queries every 2-5 seconds
- Computing counts from StatusEvent table on-the-fly is expensive (millions of rows)
- Pre-computing into SessionDashboard table gives < 5ms lookups

**Update Strategy (Option 1: Database Trigger):**

```sql
CREATE TRIGGER update_session_dashboard_on_status_event
AFTER INSERT ON status_events
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
  UPDATE session_dashboard
  SET 
    red_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='red' AND is_reset=FALSE AND participant_id IN (SELECT id FROM participants WHERE session_id = session_id)),
    yellow_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='yellow' AND is_reset=FALSE AND participant_id IN (SELECT id FROM participants WHERE session_id = session_id)),
    green_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM status_events WHERE status='green' AND is_reset=FALSE AND participant_id IN (SELECT id FROM participants WHERE session_id = session_id)),
    last_updated = NOW(),
    version = version + 1
  WHERE session_id = (SELECT session_id FROM participants WHERE id = NEW.participant_id);
END;
```

**Update Strategy (Option 2: Application Batch Job):**

```typescript
// src/server/services/dashboard.service.ts

async function updateDashboard(sessionId: string) {
  // Fetch latest counts
  const counts = await db
    .select({
      redCount: sql`COUNT(CASE WHEN status = 'red' AND is_reset = FALSE THEN 1 END)`,
      yellowCount: sql`COUNT(CASE WHEN status = 'yellow' AND is_reset = FALSE THEN 1 END)`,
      greenCount: sql`COUNT(CASE WHEN status = 'green' AND is_reset = FALSE THEN 1 END)`,
    })
    .from(statusEvents)
    .innerJoin(participants, eq(statusEvents.participant_id, participants.id))
    .where(eq(participants.session_id, sessionId));

  // Update dashboard with optimistic locking
  const currentDashboard = await db
    .select()
    .from(sessionDashboard)
    .where(eq(sessionDashboard.session_id, sessionId));

  await db
    .update(sessionDashboard)
    .set({
      red_count: counts.redCount,
      yellow_count: counts.yellowCount,
      green_count: counts.greenCount,
      last_updated: new Date(),
      version: currentDashboard.version + 1,
    })
    .where(
      and(
        eq(sessionDashboard.session_id, sessionId),
        eq(sessionDashboard.version, currentDashboard.version) // Optimistic locking
      )
    );
}
```

---

## 10. CONCURRENCY HANDLING

### 10.1 Optimistic Locking Pattern

**Problem:** Multiple requests updating session_dashboard simultaneously

**Solution:** Version column + check before update

```typescript
// In update handler
const dashboard = await db
  .select()
  .from(sessionDashboard)
  .where(eq(sessionDashboard.session_id, sessionId));

const result = await db
  .update(sessionDashboard)
  .set({
    red_count: newRedCount,
    yellow_count: newYellowCount,
    green_count: newGreenCount,
    version: dashboard.version + 1,
    last_updated: new Date(),
  })
  .where(
    and(
      eq(sessionDashboard.session_id, sessionId),
      eq(sessionDashboard.version, dashboard.version)
    )
  );

if (result.rowsAffected === 0) {
  // Conflict detected (version mismatch)
  // Retry or raise error
  throw new Error('Dashboard version conflict - retry');
}
```

### 10.2 Join Code Generation Race Condition

**Problem:** Two teachers generate "MATH-101" code simultaneously

**Solution:** Unique constraint (session_id, code) + retry

```typescript
async function generateJoinCode(
  sessionId: string,
  code?: string
): Promise<JoinCode> {
  const finalCode = code || generateAutoCode(); // UUID-based auto-gen

  try {
    return await db.insert(joinCodes).values({
      id: generateUUID(),
      session_id: sessionId,
      code: finalCode,
      is_custom: !!code,
      created_by: userId,
    });
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.code === 'ER_DUP_ENTRY') {
      // Code already exists for this session
      if (code) {
        throw new Error('Code already in use');
      } else {
        // Auto-gen conflict - retry with new code
        return generateJoinCode(sessionId, null);
      }
    }
    throw error;
  }
}
```
