# shipme-db
The ShipME database uses [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) for its ease of use with a Node.js back end, and implements the entities used throughout the application.

The database schema strictly follows a [LucidChart ERD](https://lucid.app/lucidchart/fe9ff38b-56e4-4f95-adf9-69997d7bcaef/edit?viewport_loc=-774%2C-348%2C2244%2C1227%2C0_0&invitationId=inv_a95bcc54-43b4-440d-9afa-2104d34383c9) (editable by project members) and is implemented in [init.sql](init.sql). Dummy data for testing during back end API development is created in [test_data.sql](test_data.sql).
