For our example, we’re looking at creating an app to replace the Airtable application for people to submit class applications for Fractal University.

Two tables - Class and Instructor.

Class has fields

• ID
• Name
• Description
• Class Concept
• Class Schedule
  • This will be an enum of strings - specific restricted space of Strings. For instance, this could be days of the week, students in a class, etc.

A database is a list of tables

ORM (Object Relation Mapping) basically allows us to, in the backend logic, use javascript commands (in an object oriented structure) and translate them to SQL commands.

We are using Prisma in this case.

We are hosting the Postgres database, we brought up the docker container on this local port.
