Setting up the local database

macOS Terminal

Go to backend folder and run psql umd < umd.pgsql

Manually

1. Create a database called umd
2. Create a table called users with the following columns:
   • username character varying(44)
     • Set this as unique
   • firstname character varying(48)
   • lastname character varying(55)
   • user_id integer NOT NULL
     • Set this to primary key
     • This is the serial

Full SQL:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.users
(
    username character varying(44) COLLATE pg_catalog."default",
    firstname character varying(48) COLLATE pg_catalog."default",
    lastname character varying(55) COLLATE pg_catalog."default",
    user_id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('users_user_id_seq'::regclass),
    CONSTRAINT users_pkey PRIMARY KEY (user_id),
    CONSTRAINT username_uniq UNIQUE (username)
)

TABLESPACE pg_default;

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS public.users
    OWNER to dummy;

Others

If user is not dummy and database name is not umd, go to backend/db.js and change the following code:

const db = new Pool({
  user: "dummy",     // change this line
  database: "umd",   // change this line
  host: "localhost",
  port: 5432,
});
