📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR enhances four database fundamentals documentation pages by converting prose explanations into structured tables and Mermaid diagrams, while introducing a unifying "Project Tracker" scenario with Knowledge Links callouts that tie schema design, ACID properties, performance optimization, and hands-on labs into a coherent learning progression.

Changes

Database Fundamentals Learning Path

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schema design core concepts and ER visualization
docs/(computer_science)/systems/db/schema-design/index.mdx
"Core Concepts" converted from bullet list to reference table covering Entity/Table, Row, Column, Primary Key, Foreign Key, Constraint; new "Visualizing Relationships" section with explanatory text and Mermaid ER diagram showing USER→PROJECT→TASK relationships with primary/foreign key annotations.
ACID properties and safe transaction flow
docs/(computer_science)/systems/db/reliability/index.mdx
ACID properties restructured from paragraph form into table format (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability); "Safe Transaction Flow" replaced with Mermaid flowchart modeling validate → write → error-check → rollback/commit decision tree; Knowledge Links callout connects to Project Tracker scenario.
Performance concepts overview and measurement workflow
docs/(computer_science)/systems/db/performance/index.mdx
Removed detailed prose subsections and replaced with compact "Core Performance Concepts" table covering Index, Query Shape, N+1 Queries, Pagination, Join, Cache; added structured measurement workflow (build cleanly, measure realistically, add index, optimize/cache); Knowledge Links callout ties to Project Tracker scenario and related docs.
Workshop structure, scenario framing, and knowledge mapping
docs/(computer_science)/systems/db/labs/index.mdx
Added Mermaid "Theory → Execution Loop" flowchart; Workshop Overview table with lab steps and safety guidance; "Scenario: Project Tracker" section describing how core schema/reliability/performance concepts apply; Knowledge Map table defining key database vocabulary used throughout labs.

Converting prose to tables and Mermaid dreams,
With links that bind the Project Tracker's heart—
From schema roots to performance art! 🐇

Pull request overview

This PR enhances the database documentation in taichi112.works by adding structured visual learning aids (tables, Mermaid diagrams, and cross-page “Knowledge Links”) to turn isolated concept pages into a connected learning path.

Changes:

  • Replaced several bulleted concept sections with concise summary tables for faster scanning.
  • Added Mermaid diagrams (ERD + flowcharts) to visually reinforce schema, reliability, and performance concepts.
  • Introduced cross-links and a “Project Tracker” scenario + knowledge map to connect concepts across modules.

| **Entity / Table** | A real-world object you need to store. | `User`, `Project` |
| **Row** | A single distinct record. | "Alice's User Profile" |
A user wants to track projects and the tasks within them. As we build this, we encounter every major database concept:
- We identify the core objects we need to store (User, Project, Task).
- We design how they connect (a User owns Projects, a Project contains Tasks).
- We enforce rules (Tasks must have titles, Projects belong to a valid User).
Comment on lines 25 to +26
Reliable relational databases (like PostgreSQL) guarantee **ACID** properties:
- **Atomicity**: An operation (transaction) is "all or nothing." If a user buys an item, money is deducted AND the inventory drops. If one fails, both fail.
- **Consistency**: The database only moves from one valid state to another valid state, enforcing all constraints.
- **Isolation**: Concurrent transactions don't interfere with each other.
- **Durability**: Once data is saved, it remains saved, even if the power goes out immediately after.
This ensures that database transactions are processed reliably.

Consider varying sentence structure for better readability.

Three consecutive bullet points begin with "We", which can feel repetitive to readers.

-- We ensure the system doesn't lose data if the server crashes while saving.
-- We make sure the dashboard loads instantly even with thousands of tasks.
-- We design a workflow so an AI assistant can help manage projects without accidentally deleting everything.
