SQL to Firebase

Following along with David East's youtube tutorial on Converting SQL structures to Firebase structures - The Firebase Database For SQL Developers #2.

Starting Out

We start with a SQL database structure that has a Users table, an Events table, and an Attendees table. Attendees is a table that relates Users to Events. The tables look like this:

The queries to create these tables are as follows:

CREATE TABLE users(
	id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
	surname VARCHAR(4),
	first_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
	last_name VARCHAR(100),
	age INT,
	location VARCHAR(100)
);

CREATE TABLE events(
	id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
	name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
	description VARCHAR(120),
	time TIMESTAMP,
	category VARCHAR(20)
);

CREATE TABLE attendees(
	user_id INT REFERENCES users,
	event_id INT REFERENCES events,
	PRIMARY KEY(user_id, event_id)	
);

DROP TABLE attendees;
DROP TABLE events;
DROP TABLE users;

INSERT INTO users (surname, first_name, last_name, age, location)
VALUES ('MR', 'Luke', 'Schlangen', 26, 'Minneapolis');
