Database Schema

Definition

The blueprint that defines how data is organised in a database, including its tables, fields, and relationships.

Why it matters

A clear schema keeps your data tidy and reliable, while a messy one causes bugs and headaches as you grow.

Example

A schema defines a users table with fields for name, email, and signup date.
