This post explains how to design typical relationaships database for socialmedia web application. Today I'm presenting my labs.9lessons application database relations design and SQL with diagrams. I hope you like this post.

9lessons Labs Database Design.

Here you can see the five tables between relation flow user, friends, updates, comments and vote. This following image generated by using Mysql Workbench tool.

Here users table relation with three tables friends, updates and comments.

users table
Parent table contains all users data, while registration data storing in this table. Eg : labs.9lessons.info/9lessons
CREATE TABLE  `users` (
`user_id` INT NOT NULL primary key AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`username` VARCHAR(45) NULL unique,
`password` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
`email` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
`twitter_token` VARCHAR(99) NULL ,
`twitter_token_secret` VARCHAR(99) NULL
);

Data storing like this here password stored in encrypted formate tutorial link.

friends table
Contains friend relation data. Here fri_one is FOREIGN KEY to REFERENCES users.user_id Eg : labs.9lessons.info/friends/srinivas
CREATE TABLE `friends` (
`friend_id` INT NOT NULL primary key AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`friend_one` INT NULL ,
`friend_two` INT NULL ,
`role` VARCHAR(5) NULL ,
FOREIGN KEY (friend_oneREFERENCES users(user_id)
);

Friends table data.

updates table relation
Here updates table relation with three tables users, comments and vote.

updates table
Contains all users status updates data. Here user_id_fk is FOREIGN KEY to REFERENCES users.user_id Eg : labs.9lessons.info/9lessons
CREATE TABLE `updates` (
`update_id` INT NOT NULL primary key AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`update` TEXT NULL ,
`time` INT NULL ,
`host` VARCHAR(45) NULL , // Client IP address
`vote_up` INT NULL , // Up votes data
`vote_down` INT NULL , // Down votes
`user_id_fk` INT NULL ,
FOREIGN KEY (user_id_fkREFERENCES users(user_id)
);

Status updates:
Status Updates database design

comments table
Contains status updates comments/replies. Here two relations update_id_fk is FOREIGN KEY to REFERENCES updates.update_id and user_id_fk is FOREIGN KEY to REFERENCES users.user_id Eg:click here
CREATE TABLE `comments` (
`comment_id` INT NOT NULL primary key AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`comment` TEXT NULL ,
`time` INT NULL ,
`host` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
`update_id_fk` INT NULL ,
`user_id_fk` INT NULL ,
FOREIGN KEY (update_id_fkREFERENCES updates(update_id ),
FOREIGN KEY (user_id_fkREFERENCES users(user_id)
);
Status comments database Design Flow Diagram

vote table
Contains voting clients IP address data (Allows one time voting). Here update_id_fk is FOREIGN KEY to REFERENCES updates.update_id Reference tutorials link click here
CREATE TABLE `vote` (
`vote_id` INT NOT NULL primary key AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`vote_host` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
`update_id_fk` INT NULL ,
FOREIGN KEY (update_id_fkREFERENCES updates(update_id)
);

  23. This will only returns the friends of user id 1,
    Suppose if user id 2 is friend of userd id 1, And user 2 logs in then he will not be able to see user1

    ReplyDelete
  24. In friends table you have Friend_two. What is Friend_two and why you should use it? without using it you can return user1 friends or user2 without seeing each others friends.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hello, this is very nice article. But I have one question. What is the user of column "friend_two" in "friends" table and from you are inserting data in that column.

    I hope you'll clear my doubt. :)

    Thanks
