Database Schema
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the F4E AppSheet database schema, including table structures, relationships, and key business logic.

Table Relationships
Primary Relationships
Key Relationships
- Kitchen → Plan: One kitchen can have multiple plans
- Plan → Projection: One plan can have multiple projections (one per school)
- Projection → Consumption: One projection generates multiple consumption records (per item)
- Plan → Picking: One plan generates one picking list
- School → School_BOM: One school has one BOM configuration (Primary/Highschool)
- Product_Master → Ingredients: Products used in ingredient definitions
Data Volume Statistics
Based on current system analysis:
| Table | Size | Row Count | Key Operations |
|---|---|---|---|
consumption | 296 MB | ~40M rows | High-frequency inserts/updates |
projection | 81 MB | ~5M rows | Medium-frequency updates |
picking | 17 MB | ~1M rows | Medium-frequency operations |
plan | 4 MB | ~100K rows | Low-frequency, high-impact |
school | 1.5 MB | ~10K rows | Low-frequency updates |
kitchen | 160 KB | ~100 rows | Very low-frequency updates |
Indexes and Performance
Critical Indexes
-- Plan table indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_plan_status_date_id ON plan(status, date, id);
CREATE INDEX idx_plan_kitchen_id ON plan(kitchen_id);
-- Projection table indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_projection_plan_id ON projection(plan_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_projection_school_id ON projection(school_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_projection_plan_id_status ON projection(plan_id, status);
-- Consumption table indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_consumption_plan_item_status ON consumption(plan_id, item, status);
CREATE INDEX idx_consumption_projection_id ON consumption(projection_id);
-- Picking table indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_picking_plan_id_kitchen_id_product_id ON picking(plan_id, kitchen_id, product_id);
-- School table indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_school_kitchen_active ON school(kitchen_id, active);
Performance Considerations
- High-Volume Tables:
consumptionandprojectiontables require careful indexing - Frequent Queries: Status-based queries are most common
- Aggregation Queries: Plan totals require efficient aggregation
- Time-Based Queries: Date-based filtering is frequent
Data Integrity
Constraints
- Primary Keys: All tables have unique primary keys
- Foreign Keys: Referential integrity maintained through foreign key constraints
- Unique Constraints: Business-unique combinations enforced
- Check Constraints: Data validation at database level
Audit Fields
All tables include audit fields:
created_at: Record creation timestampcreated_by: User who created the recordupdated_at: Last update timestampupdated_by: User who last updated the record
Data Synchronization
External System Integration
- School Database Sync: Regular sync with external school database
- Kitchen Data Sync: Periodic sync of kitchen master data
- Real-time Updates: Critical data updated in real-time
- Batch Processing: Non-critical data processed in batches
Sync Procedures
-- School data sync procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE public.sync_school_data()
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $procedure$
BEGIN
-- Sync logic for school data
END;
$procedure$;
-- Kitchen data sync procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE public.sync_kitchen_data()
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $procedure$
BEGIN
-- Sync logic for kitchen data
END;
$procedure$;
Business Logic Implementation
Trigger Functions
The schema includes 11 trigger functions that implement business logic:
- Data Consistency: Maintains referential integrity
- Business Rules: Enforces business logic automatically
- Calculations: Performs complex calculations
- Status Management: Manages status transitions
- Audit Logging: Tracks all changes
Materialized Views
For performance optimization:
-- Projection totals materialized view
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_projection_totals AS
SELECT
plan_id,
COALESCE(SUM(CAST(projected_students AS INTEGER)), 0) as total_projected_students,
COALESCE(SUM(CAST(projected_staff AS INTEGER)), 0) as total_projected_staff,
COALESCE(SUM(CAST(projected_teachers AS INTEGER)), 0) as total_projected_teachers,
COALESCE(SUM(CAST(actual_students AS INTEGER)), 0) as total_actual_students,
COALESCE(SUM(CAST(actual_staff AS INTEGER)), 0) as total_actual_staff,
COALESCE(SUM(CAST(actual_teachers AS INTEGER)), 0) as total_actual_teachers,
MAX(updated_at) as last_projection_update
FROM projection
GROUP BY plan_id;
This database schema provides a robust foundation for the F4E AppSheet system, ensuring data integrity, performance, and scalability while supporting complex business processes.
