Schema

PronunciationSKEE-muh

Definition

The structure of your data: which tables exist, which columns they have, their types, and the relations between them.

Where you hear it

Database design, Prisma, and API validation.

Examples

  • Update the schema, then create a migration.
  • The request does not match the schema, so it is rejected.

Common mistake

Designing the schema without thinking about future queries. Think about how data will be read.
