## Example: Creating a Basic Schema

```ruby
# db/migrate/20240115120000_create_users.rb
class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.string :email, null: false
      t.string :password_digest, null: false
      t.string :first_name, null: false
      t.string :last_name, null: false
      t.date :date_of_birth
      t.boolean :active, default: true, null: false

      t.timestamps
    end

    add_index :users, :email, unique: true
  end
end
```

```ruby
# db/migrate/20240115120100_create_articles.rb
class CreateArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    create_table :articles do |t|
      t.string :title, null: false
      t.text :body, null: false
      t.boolean :published, default: false, null: false
      t.datetime :published_at
      t.references :user, null: false, foreign_key: true
      t.references :category, null: true, foreign_key: true

      t.timestamps
    end

    add_index :articles, :published
    add_index :articles, :published_at
    add_index :articles, [:user_id, :published]
  end
end
```

```ruby
# db/migrate/20240115120200_create_comments.rb
class CreateComments < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    create_table :comments do |t|
      t.text :body, null: false
      t.references :user, null: false, foreign_key: true
      t.references :article, null: false, foreign_key: true
      t.integer :parent_id, null: true

      t.timestamps
    end

    add_index :comments, :parent_id
    add_foreign_key :comments, :comments, column: :parent_id
  end
end
```

## Example: Join Table Migration

```ruby
# db/migrate/20240115120300_create_articles_tags.rb
class CreateArticlesTags < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    create_table :articles_tags, id: false do |t|
      t.references :article, null: false, foreign_key: true
      t.references :tag, null: false, foreign_key: true
    end

    add_index :articles_tags, [:article_id, :tag_id], unique: true
  end
end
```

## Example: Adding Columns

```ruby
# db/migrate/20240115120400_add_status_to_articles.rb
class AddStatusToArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    add_column :articles, :status, :integer, default: 0, null: false
    add_column :articles, :view_count, :integer, default: 0, null: false
    add_column :articles, :slug, :string

    add_index :articles, :status
    add_index :articles, :slug, unique: true
  end
end
```

## Example: Model with Associations

```ruby
# app/models/user.rb
class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_secure_password

  has_many :articles, dependent: :destroy
  has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy
  has_many :authored_articles, class_name: 'Article', foreign_key: 'user_id'

  validates :email, presence: true, uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false },
                    format: { with: URI::MailTo::EMAIL_REGEXP }
  validates :first_name, :last_name, presence: true
  validates :password, length: { minimum: 8 }, if: :password_digest_changed?

  before_save :downcase_email

  scope :active, -> { where(active: true) }
  scope :recent, -> { order(created_at: :desc) }

  def full_name
    "#{first_name} #{last_name}"
  end

  private

  def downcase_email
    self.email = email.downcase if email.present?
  end
end
```

```ruby
# app/models/article.rb
class Article < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :category, optional: true
  has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy
  has_and_belongs_to_many :tags

  validates :title, presence: true, length: { minimum: 5, maximum: 200 }
  validates :body, presence: true, length: { minimum: 50 }
  validates :slug, uniqueness: true, allow_nil: true

  before_validation :generate_slug, if: :title_changed?
  before_save :set_published_at, if: :published_changed?

  scope :published, -> { where(published: true) }
  scope :drafts, -> { where(published: false) }
  scope :recent, -> { order(published_at: :desc) }
  scope :by_category, ->(category) { where(category: category) }
  scope :popular, -> { where('view_count > ?', 100).order(view_count: :desc) }

  def published?
    published == true
  end

  private

  def generate_slug
    self.slug = title.parameterize if title.present?
  end

  def set_published_at
    self.published_at = published? ? Time.current : nil
  end
end
```

```ruby
# app/models/comment.rb
class Comment < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :article
  belongs_to :parent, class_name: 'Comment', optional: true
  has_many :replies, class_name: 'Comment', foreign_key: 'parent_id', dependent: :destroy

  validates :body, presence: true, length: { minimum: 3, maximum: 1000 }

  scope :top_level, -> { where(parent_id: nil) }
  scope :recent, -> { order(created_at: :desc) }

  def reply?
    parent_id.present?
  end
end
```

## Example: Basic Queries

```ruby
# Find users with published articles
users_with_articles = User.joins(:articles).where(articles: { published: true }).distinct

# Count articles per user
User.left_joins(:articles).group('users.id').select('users.*, COUNT(articles.id) as articles_count')

# Find articles with their categories and authors
Article.includes(:user, :category).published.recent.limit(10)

# Find comments with nested replies
Comment.includes(:user, :replies).top_level

# Search articles by title
Article.where('title ILIKE ?', "%#{query}%")

# Find recent articles in specific categories
Article.published
       .where(category_id: category_ids)
       .order(published_at: :desc)
       .limit(20)
```

## Example: Seed Data

```ruby
# db/seeds.rb

# Clear existing data
Comment.destroy_all
Article.destroy_all
User.destroy_all
Category.destroy_all
Tag.destroy_all

# Create users
users = []
5.times do
  users << User.create!(
    email: Faker::Internet.unique.email,
    password: 'password123',
    password_confirmation: 'password123',
    first_name: Faker::Name.first_name,
    last_name: Faker::Name.last_name,
    date_of_birth: Faker::Date.birthday(min_age: 18, max_age: 65),
    active: true
  )
end

# Create categories
categories = []
['Technology', 'Science', 'Health', 'Business', 'Entertainment'].each do |name|
  categories << Category.create!(name: name)
end

# Create tags
tags = []
10.times do
  tags << Tag.create!(name: Faker::Lorem.unique.word)
end

# Create articles
articles = []
users.each do |user|
  5.times do
    article = user.articles.create!(
      title: Faker::Lorem.sentence(word_count: 5),
      body: Faker::Lorem.paragraph(sentence_count: 20),
      published: [true, false].sample,
      category: categories.sample,
      published_at: [true, false].sample ? Faker::Time.between(from: 1.year.ago, to: Time.now) : nil
    )

    # Add random tags
    article.tags << tags.sample(rand(1..3))
    articles << article
  end
end

# Create comments
articles.select(&:published).each do |article|
  rand(3..8).times do
    Comment.create!(
      body: Faker::Lorem.paragraph(sentence_count: 3),
      user: users.sample,
      article: article
    )
  end
end

puts "Created #{User.count} users"
puts "Created #{Category.count} categories"
puts "Created #{Tag.count} tags"
puts "Created #{Article.count} articles"
puts "Created #{Comment.count} comments"
```

## Example: Model Specs

```ruby
# spec/models/article_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe Article, type: :model do
  describe 'associations' do
    it { should belong_to(:user) }
    it { should belong_to(:category).optional }
    it { should have_many(:comments).dependent(:destroy) }
    it { should have_and_belong_to_many(:tags) }
  end

  describe 'validations' do
    it { should validate_presence_of(:title) }
    it { should validate_presence_of(:body) }
    it { should validate_length_of(:title).is_at_least(5).is_at_most(200) }
    it { should validate_length_of(:body).is_at_least(50) }
  end

  describe 'scopes' do
    let!(:published_article) { create(:article, published: true) }
    let!(:draft_article) { create(:article, published: false) }

    it 'returns only published articles' do
      expect(Article.published).to include(published_article)
      expect(Article.published).not_to include(draft_article)
    end

    it 'returns only draft articles' do
      expect(Article.drafts).to include(draft_article)
      expect(Article.drafts).not_to include(published_article)
    end
  end

  describe '#generate_slug' do
    it 'generates slug from title' do
      article = build(:article, title: 'This is a Test Title')
      article.valid?
      expect(article.slug).to eq('this-is-a-test-title')
    end
  end

  describe '#set_published_at' do
    it 'sets published_at when published changes to true' do
      article = create(:article, published: false)
      article.update(published: true)
      expect(article.published_at).to be_present
    end
  end
end
```

## Workflow
1. Review database requirements and relationships
2. Design schema with proper normalization
3. Create migrations with appropriate indexes and constraints
4. Define ActiveRecord models with associations
5. Add validations and callbacks
6. Create useful scopes for common queries
7. Add indexes for frequently queried columns
8. Write model tests for associations and validations
9. Create seed data for development
10. Review schema.rb for correctness

## Communication
- Explain database design decisions
- Suggest appropriate indexes for performance
- Recommend database constraints for data integrity
- Highlight potential migration issues
- Suggest improvements for query efficiency
- Mention when to use database-level vs application-level validations
