Blog App Database

Requirements:

Create a single SQL (.sql) file that creates tables and inserts some records into a blog database. When you're done, create a database on ElephantSQL called blog-app-challenge. Then, run your script from the command line, pointing to the database URL for ElephantSQL. Share the db with your mentor.

Details:

Users can write posts and comments. Users have first names, last names, email addresses, and screen names. Email addresses and screen names are required. Each post has a single author (who is a user), a title, content, a published timestamp, zero or more comments, and zero or more tags. A comment has one author (aka user), one post (the original post the comment is about), and the comment text itself. A tag has tag text. For instance "current events". As a stretch goal, configure comments so they can have a referring comment. In other words, each comment can optionally point to another comment. In the same script, write SQL statements to create some users, posts, and comments. Ultimately, you need a script that can be run like this: psql -f ./bootstrap-blog-app.sql. When you've got this script, save it to Gist or Github. Create a new ElephantSQL instance and run your SQL script.
