Database Architecture & Relational Schema
Relational schema engineered to track multi-leg shipment consignments, transport routes, branch nodes, and dispatch logs.
Key Relational Entities
- consignments: Core shipment records with tracking codes and weight/dimension metrics
- branches: Regional transit hubs and destination checkpoints
- tracking_logs: Chronological, immutable state transitions for each parcel
- couriers & customers: Dispatch personnel and sender/recipient accounts
Schema Design Principles
- Immutable tracking log design ensuring historical auditability
- Relational foreign keys maintaining connection across consignment waypoints
- Strict schema integrity checks preventing orphaned shipment records
