# Database SQL Server 2022 schema, migration approach, and the app's SQL error-handling convention. For the vertical-slice code that talks to this schema, see [Architecture](../architecture.md). ## Schema The full schema lives under `web/backend/Database/Database.Migrations/scripts/01-schema/`, one numbered script per table (`01-UserAccount.sql`, `02-Photo.sql`, ...), run in order by `Database.Migrations` (DbUp) on startup. Each table is queried directly by the owning feature slice's repository (see [Direct SQL via Dapper/ADO.NET](../architecture.md#direct-sql-via-dapperadonet)). A generated DBML copy of the schema (for import into a diagramming tool such as dbdiagram.io) lives at `web/backend/Database/Database.Migrations/schema.dbml`. All tables use a `UNIQUEIDENTIFIER` primary key defaulting to `NEWID()`, and most carry a `RowVersion ROWVERSION` column used for optimistic concurrency on updates (`UPDATE ... WHERE ... AND RowVersion = @RowVersion`). ### Tables backed by the API today | Table | Backed by | Notes | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `UserAccount` | `Domain.Entities.UserAccount`, `Features.Auth`/`Features.UserManagement` | `Username` and `Email` are unique | | `UserCredential` | `Domain.Entities.UserCredential`, `Features.Auth` | Argon2id password hash; `IsRevoked`/`RevokedAt` track credential rotation, not JWTs | | `UserVerification` | `Domain.Entities.UserVerification`, `Features.Auth` | Written when a user confirms their email | | `BreweryPost` | `Domain.Entities.BreweryPost`, `Features.Breweries` | A user-submitted brewery listing | | `BreweryPostLocation` | `Domain.Entities.BreweryPostLocation`, `Features.Breweries` | 1:1 with `BreweryPost`; `Coordinates` is a `GEOGRAPHY` column, read via a plain Dapper query that selects `CONVERT(varbinary(max), Coordinates)`, since Dapper can't deserialize SQL Server UDTs directly | | `City` | `Domain.Entities.City`, `Features.Locations` | Referenced by `BreweryPostLocation.CityID`; written via `ILocationRepository`, read via `ILocationRepository` and `IBreweryRepository`'s location joins, currently written only by `Database.Seed` | | `StateProvince` | `Domain.Entities.StateProvince`, `Features.Locations` | Referenced by `City.StateProvinceID`; created on demand by `ILocationRepository.GetOrCreateCityIdAsync`, read via `IBreweryRepository`'s location joins | | `Country` | `Domain.Entities.Country`, `Features.Locations` | Referenced by `StateProvince.CountryID`; created on demand by `ILocationRepository.GetOrCreateCityIdAsync`, read via `IBreweryRepository`'s location joins | ### Tables defined in the schema but not yet wired to a feature slice These exist so the schema can support planned functionality, but have no repository or seed data yet: | Table | Purpose (from schema) | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Photo` | A photo uploaded by a user account | | `UserAvatar` | Links a `UserAccount` to a `Photo` as its avatar | | `UserFollow` | One user following another (`CannotFollowOwnAccount` check constraint) | | `BeerStyle` | A beer style/category; has a `Domain.Entities.BeerStyle` type, but no repository yet | | `BeerPost` | A beer listing, linked to a `BreweryPost` and `BeerStyle`; `ABV`/`IBU` are constrained (`0-67`, `0-120`); has a `Domain.Entities.BeerPost` type, but no repository yet | | `BeerPostPhoto` | Links a `BeerPost` to a `Photo` | | `BeerPostComment` | A comment + 1-5 `Rating` on a `BeerPost` | | `BreweryPostPhoto` | Links a `BreweryPost` to a `Photo` | ## Migrations **Tool**: DbUp, run by the `Database.Migrations` project/container. Scripts live under `scripts/`, applied in order and tracked so a script never re-runs once it has succeeded. Today that's `01-schema/`, with one script per table, numbered so a table's foreign keys always point at an earlier-numbered script. When the schema needs to change, add a new numbered script rather than editing an existing one in place — DbUp's tracking is per-script, so editing an already-applied script means it won't re-run against existing databases. ## Data seeding `Database.Seed` populates a target database from data produced by the C++ pipeline (see [Pipeline README](../pipeline/README.md)): countries, state/provinces, and cities (created on demand while resolving each brewery's location), user accounts, and brewery posts with locations. It only seeds tables that have a feature slice to write through (see the table above). ## Database error handling - Optimistic-concurrency conflicts are detected by an `UPDATE` affecting zero rows against the `RowVersion` column. - On failure, the repository throws a `Domain.Exceptions` type directly (`NotFoundException`, `ConflictException`, `ArgumentException`, ...). `API.Core`'s `GlobalExceptionFilter` maps these to HTTP status codes (404, 409, 400, ...); an unmapped `SqlException` (e.g. a genuine connectivity or constraint-violation failure) maps to 503. - One repository-level exception: `Features.Auth`'s `AuthRepository` does catch `SqlException` directly, to detect a duplicate-key race (SQL Server error 2601 or 2627) when two requests try to verify the same account concurrently — see `Auth Repository.IsDuplicateVerificationViolation`.
