Database Design

Introduction

This section defines the physical data storage design of the SalesFam platform. It translates the Domain & Data Model into a database structure that can be implemented and maintained consistently across the system. The documentation covers data structures, relationships, integrity rules, and performance considerations required by the platform.

Purpose

The Database Design provides a common reference for engineering when creating or modifying the database and ensures that the database remains aligned with the platform's functional and domain requirements.

Scope

This section covers:

  • Database structures and relationships
  • Field definitions and data types
  • Primary and foreign keys
  • Constraints and integrity rules
  • Indexing strategy
  • Status and enumeration values
  • Data lifecycle and deletion rules

Organization
