PostgreSQL + PostGIS (vs SQLite) **Reason**: Better geospatial query performance, ACID guarantees, multi-user support #### 2. SHA256 Hash Primary Key (vs Auto-increment ID) **Reason**: Automatic deduplication, content-based addressing #### 3. Separate Matches Table (vs Single Device Reference) **Reason**: Support multiple device matches per capture with confidence scores #### 4. Materialized Views (vs Real-time Queries) **Reason**: Pre-compute expensive aggregations for dashboard performance #### 5. Trigger-based Statistics (vs Application Updates) **Reason**: Guaranteed consistency, no application-level logic needed --- ## 📦 File Structure Created ``` giglez/ ├── scripts/ │ ├── setup_database.sh ✅ Database creation script │ └── create_schema.sql ✅ Complete schema (800+ lines) │ ├── config/ │ └── database.py ✅ SQLAlchemy configuration │ ├── src/ │ ├── database/ │ │ ├── __init__.py ✅ Package exports │ │ └── models.py ✅ ORM models (600+ lines) │ │ │ └── gps/ │ ├── __init__.py ✅ Package exports │ └── validator.py ✅ GPS validation (500+ lines) │ ├── .env.example ✅ Environment template ├── DATABASE_SETUP.md ✅ Setup guide └── PHASE1_COMPLETE.md ✅ This document ``` **Total Lines of Code**: ~2400 lines **Total Documentation**: ~1500 lines --- ## 🧪 Testing & Verification ### Manual Tests to Run #### 1.
