This section adds value by interpreting what the data actually represents.
Explain how the database functions within your specific tech stack.
Keep a history of changes to the schema over time.
Define every field, its data type (e.g., VARCHAR , INT , JSONB ), and any constraints or default values.
If the database pulls from other sources, describe the Extraction, Transformation, and Loading process.
A "deep" look must include how the database will survive long-term.
Visualize the tables, keys (Primary and Foreign), and how they relate (1:1, 1:N, N:M).
