Help me to modify, the followings,
CREATE TABLE authors (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE author_details (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
bio TEXT,
email VARCHAR(255),
website VARCHAR(255),
profile_picture BYTEA,
author_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES authors(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
CREATE TABLE posts (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
tag INT[],
body TEXT NOT NULL,
author_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES authors(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
CREATE TABLE tag_details (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
description TEXT
);
While tag column in posts can only contain tag_details table's ID as an integer array.

To ensure that the tag column in the posts table only contains the IDs from the tag_details table, you can modify the posts table creation statement by adding a foreign key constraint on the tag column to reference the id column in the tag_details table. Here's an example:
CREATE TABLE posts (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
tag INTEGER[],
body TEXT NOT NULL,
author_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES authors(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT fk_posts_tag_details FOREIGN KEY (tag) REFERENCES tag_details(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
In this modified posts table, the tag column is defined as an integer array. The fk_posts_tag_details foreign key constraint is added to ensure that the values in the tag column reference the id column in the tag_details table. The ON DELETE CASCADE option is used to automatically delete rows in the posts table when the corresponding row in the tag_details table is deleted.
So, the followings are OK!
CREATE TABLE authors (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE author_details (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
bio TEXT,
email VARCHAR(255),
website VARCHAR(255),
profile_picture BYTEA,
author_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES authors(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
CREATE TABLE posts (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
tag INTEGER[],
body TEXT NOT NULL,
author_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES authors(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT fk_posts_tag_details FOREIGN KEY (tag) REFERENCES tag_details(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
CREATE TABLE tag_details (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
description TEXT
);
Please help me further to use rails generate model
to generate all the nessessary migration files.
Sure! Here's how you can use the rails generate model command to generate the necessary migration files for the four tables you've defined:
Run the following command to generate the Author model and its corresponding migration file:
rails generate model Author name:string
This command will generate a migration file named something like db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_authors.rb.
Run the following command to generate the AuthorDetail model and its corresponding migration file:
rails generate model AuthorDetail bio:text email:string website:string profile_picture:binary author:references
This command will generate a migration file named something like db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_author_details.rb.
Run the following command to generate the Post model and its corresponding migration file:
rails generate model Post title:string tag:integer[] body:text author:references
This command will generate a migration file named something like db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_posts.rb.
Finally, run the following command to generate the TagDetail model and its corresponding migration file:
rails generate model TagDetail name:string description:text
This command will generate a migration file named something like db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_tag_details.rb.
After running these commands, you'll have four migration files in your db/migrate directory, each of which corresponds to one of the four tables you've defined. You can then run rake db:migrate to apply these migrations to your database.
The generated migration files should be close to what you need, but you may need to modify them to add the foreign key constraints and array data type for the tag column in the posts table.
Here's how you can modify the generated migration files:
Open the migration file for the AuthorDetail model (db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_author_details.rb), and add the following line at the end of the change method to define the foreign key constraint:
add_foreign_key :author_details, :authors, on_delete: :cascade
This line adds a foreign key constraint to the author_details table, referencing the id column in the authors table, with the ON DELETE CASCADE option.
Open the migration file for the Post model (db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_posts.rb), and modify the tag column definition to use the :integer data type with an array option:
t.integer :tag, array: true, default: []
This line defines the tag column in the posts table as an integer array with a default value of an empty array.
Then, add the following line at the end of the change method to define the foreign key constraint:
add_foreign_key :posts, :authors, on_delete: :cascade
This line adds a foreign key constraint to the posts table, referencing the id column in the authors table, with the ON DELETE CASCADE option.
Open the migration file for the TagDetail model (db/migrate/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_create_tag_details.rb), and add the following line at the end of the change method to define the foreign key constraint:
add_foreign_key :posts, :tag_details, column: :tag, primary_key: :id, on_delete: :cascade
This line adds a foreign key constraint to the posts table, referencing the id column in the tag_details table through the tag column in the posts table, with the ON DELETE CASCADE option.
After making these modifications, you can run rake db:migrate to apply the migrations to your database.
