docs(sqlite-ddl): add DDL Schema diagram for database structure reference
What - Added `DDL Schema.png` illustrating SQLite Data Definition Language (DDL). - Diagram shows structure and relationships of tables used in the database. - Covers key schema operations: - `CREATE TABLE` → defining tables with columns and constraints. - `ALTER TABLE` → modifying schema structure. - `DROP TABLE` → deleting tables. - Provides visual representation to complement SQL examples in code. Why - Helps developers understand schema-level operations in SQLite. - Acts as a quick reference for database design and schema management. - Bridges gap between abstract SQL commands and real database structure. - Enhances learning by combining code (`Database.java`) with visual aids. How - Diagram highlights key elements of DDL: - Table definitions with column types. - Constraints like `PRIMARY KEY`, `NOT NULL`, `UNIQUE`. - Relationships (if any) for schema evolution. - Positioned as part of JDBC + SQLite learning resources. Key Notes - DDL commands affect database structure, not the actual data. - Misuse of `DROP` or `ALTER` can cause data/schema loss → use cautiously. - Use version control (migration scripts) for schema changes in real projects. Real-life Applications - Designing and maintaining application schemas. - Creating normalized tables for relational integrity. - Supporting schema migrations in production systems. - Teaching database fundamentals alongside JDBC. Future Improvements - Add ER diagrams for complex relationships. - Provide SQL migration scripts matching the schema diagram. - Annotate diagram with example queries for better context. - Extend documentation to include DML (Data Manipulation Language).
