Replicating an ER Diagram on Hosted Tables
In this tutorial we will show you how to create a database with foreign-key relationships with hosted tables based on the following ER diagram.
Creating tables with Abstra is easy. Just go to Backend > Hosted Tables and click on the add button. By default we create the columns id (int), created_at (timestamp without timezone) and updated_at (timestamp without timezone). This columns don't need to be filled when inserting or updating the database, they are automatically filled. After that you can create the columns for you table:
Customers (customer_name varchar NOT NULL)
Orders (order_date date NOT NULL)
Shipments (shipment_date date NOT NULL)
After you finish you can see the diagram of your database:
In the ER diagram we have two relations:
- customer_id in Orders points to Customers
- order_is in Shipments points to Orders
With Abstra creating relations is as easy as creating another column: select the date type reference, select the table and then the column.
Orders (customer_id int NOT NULL)
Shipments (order_id int NOT NULL)
You are done! Now you can see the diagram of your database and check for the relations:
