 ## 🏗️ Database Entities & Schema
 
-Your database must be created via a `database.sql` script. This file must include all `CREATE TABLE` statements, keys, constraints, and initial mock data.
+Your database must be created using a `database.sql` script.
 
-Here are the required entities:
+The script must include:
+
+* Table creation statements
+* Keys and relationships
+* Appropriate constraints
+* Initial mock data
+
+You are responsible for selecting appropriate:
+
+* Data types
+* Primary Keys
+* Foreign Keys
+* Constraints (e.g., `NOT NULL`, `UNIQUE`, `CHECK`, `DEFAULT`)
+
+Your design decisions will be evaluated as part of the assignment.
+

 ### 1. User (Customer)
 
 Represents a customer using the system.
 
-- **id:** `SERIAL PRIMARY KEY`
+Required Information:
-    
+
-- **username:** `VARCHAR` (Required, UNIQUE)
+* Unique identifier
-    
+* Username
-- **password:** `TEXT` (Required, stored as a hashed value)
+* Password
-    
+* Email (optional)
-- **email:** `VARCHAR` (Optional)
+
-    
+Requirements:
-- _Relationship:_ A User can have many Orders (1-to-N).
+
-    
+* Usernames must be unique.
+* Passwords must not be stored in plain text.
+* A user can place multiple orders.
+
+---
 
 ### 2. MenuItem
 
-Represents the food/drink items available in the restaurant.
+Represents a food or drink available in the restaurant.
 
-- **id:** `SERIAL PRIMARY KEY`
+Required Information:
-    
+
-- **name:** `VARCHAR` (Required)
+* Unique identifier
-    
+* Name
-- **description:** `TEXT` (Optional)
+* Description (optional)
-    
+* Price
-- **price:** `NUMERIC` or `DECIMAL` (Required, must be strictly positive)
+* Category (optional)
-    
+
-- **category:** `VARCHAR` (Optional)
+Requirements:
-    
+
-- _Requirement:_ You must pre-populate this table with at least 3 items using `INSERT` statements in your SQL file.
+* Every item must have a positive price.
-    
+* The database must contain at least 3 menu items inserted through the SQL script.
+
+---
 
 ### 3. Order
 
 Represents a specific order placed by a customer.
 
-- **id:** `SERIAL PRIMARY KEY`
+Required Information:
-    
+
-- **userId:** `FOREIGN KEY` (References `User.id`)
+* Unique identifier
-    
+* Reference to the customer who placed the order
-- **createdAt:** `TIMESTAMP` (Default to current time)
+* Creation date and time
-    
+* Total price
-- **totalPrice:** `NUMERIC` or `DECIMAL`
+
-    
+Requirements:
-- _Relationship:_ An Order belongs to one User. An Order contains many OrderDetails (1-to-N).
+
-    
+* An order belongs to exactly one user.
+* A user can have multiple orders.
+* An order can contain multiple items.
+
+---
 
 ### 4. OrderDetail
 
-Acts as a bridge table storing the specific items and quantities inside a single order.
+Represents an item inside an order.
+
+Required Information:
+
+* Unique identifier
+* Reference to an order
+* Reference to a menu item
+* Quantity
+* Item price at the time of purchase
+
+Requirements:
+
+* Quantity must always be greater than zero.
+* The stored price should represent the item's price when the order was placed.
+* An order can contain multiple order details.
+
+---
+
+### Design Notes
+
+Before implementing the schema, identify:
+
+* The primary key of each entity.
+* The foreign key relationships.
+* Any uniqueness constraints.
+* Any required fields.
+* Any validation rules that should be enforced by the database.
+
+Your schema should be normalized and designed to avoid unnecessary data duplication.
 
-- **id:** `SERIAL PRIMARY KEY`
-    
-- **orderId:** `FOREIGN KEY` (References `Order.id`)
-    
-- **menuItemId:** `FOREIGN KEY` (References `MenuItem.id`)
-    
-- **quantity:** `INTEGER` (Must be > 0)
-    
-- **price:** `NUMERIC` (Snapshot of the item's price at the time of purchase)
