Database Schema

Tables Created

1. muxer_jobs (Job Queue)

   • Columns: id, data, status, attempts, maxAttempts, createdAt, updatedAt, error
   • Indexes: status, createdAt

2. messages (Text Messages)

   • Columns: id, guild_id, channel_id, thread_id, user_id, username, avatar_url, content, edited_content, created_at, edited_at, deleted_at, type, metadata, ai_status, ai_moderation_flags, ai_moderation_score, ai_moderation_raw, ai_analysis, ai_analyzed_at, ai_error
   • Indexes: channel_id, user_id, created_at, thread_id

3. attachments (File Metadata)

   • Columns: id, message_id, guild_id, channel_id, thread_id, user_id, filename, size, type, discord_url, uploaded_url, upload_status, upload_error, created_at, uploaded_at
   • Indexes: channel_id, message_id, upload_status
   • Foreign Key: message_id → messages.id (ON DELETE CASCADE)

4. ui_state (Persistent State)

   • Columns: key, value, updated_at

Usage Guide

Development (SQLite - Default)

# No setup needed, works immediately
pnpm run dev

Output:

✅ SQLite database initialized
✅ Database initialized (type: sqlite)
✅ Bot logged in
✅ Message capture handlers registered
✅ AI analysis worker started
✅ WebSocket server listening on port 3000

Production (PostgreSQL)

# 1. Update .env
DATABASE_TYPE=postgres
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@host:5432/database

# 2. Run migrations (programmatic - more reliable)
pnpm run db:migrate:programmatic

# 3. Start bot
pnpm run dev

Database Management Commands

# Generate migrations from schema changes
pnpm run db:generate

# Apply pending migrations (Drizzle Kit CLI)
pnpm run db:migrate

# Apply pending migrations (Programmatic - recommended for PostgreSQL)
pnpm run db:migrate:programmatic

# Open Drizzle Studio UI for visual data management
pnpm run db:studio

Technical Details

Drizzle ORM Features Used

• Query Builder — Type-safe SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations
• Schema Definitions — TypeScript-first table definitions
• Migrations — Automatic migration generation and tracking
• Connection Pooling — Configurable pool for PostgreSQL
• Foreign Keys — Referential integrity with CASCADE delete
• Indexes — Performance optimization on frequently queried columns

Database Support

Database	Status	Notes
SQLite	✅ Production Ready	Default, works immediately
PostgreSQL	✅ Production Ready	Requires network connectivity

Migration Approaches

Method	Command	Use Case
Drizzle Kit CLI	pnpm run db:migrate	Local development
Programmatic	pnpm run db:migrate:programmatic	Production, CI/CD, reliable

Troubleshooting

PostgreSQL Connection Timeout

Problem: pnpm run db:migrate times out when connecting to PostgreSQL

Solutions:

1. Use programmatic migration: pnpm run db:migrate:programmatic
2. Verify network connectivity to database host
3. Check firewall/security group allows your IP
4. Verify DATABASE_URL in .env is correct
5. Use SQLite for development (default)

Table Already Exists Error

Problem: Migration fails with "table X already exists"

Solution: This is expected when running migrations on an already-initialized database. The tables are already created and migrations are tracked in __drizzle_migrations table.

Missing Environment Variables

Problem: Config validation fails for DISCORD_TOKEN

Solution: Ensure .env file exists in project root with all required variables

Next Steps

Immediate (Development)

• ✅ Bot works with SQLite (no action needed)
• ✅ All tests passing
• ✅ Ready for feature development

Short Term (Production)

1. Configure PostgreSQL connection in .env
2. Run pnpm run db:migrate:programmatic to create schema
3. Deploy bot with PostgreSQL

Long Term (Maintenance)

1. Update src/database/schema.ts for schema changes
2. Run pnpm run db:generate to create migrations
3. Use pnpm run db:studio for data management
4. Monitor migration history in __drizzle_migrations table
