This module contains the schema to initialize the database.

# Style A database schema upgrade path shall have a comment stating what date it was added. Each change to the database schema must have an equal upgrade added.

# Sqlite3 From the sqlite3 manual https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html: Each value stored in an SQLite database (or manipulated by the database engine) has one of the following storage classes:

NULL. The value is a NULL value.

INTEGER. The value is a signed integer, stored in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 bytes depending on the magnitude of the value.

REAL. The value is a floating point value, stored as an 8-byte IEEE floating point number.

TEXT. The value is a text string, stored using the database encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE).

BLOB. The value is a blob of data, stored exactly as it was input.

A storage class is more general than a datatype. The INTEGER storage class, for example, includes 6 different integer datatypes of different lengths. This makes a difference on disk. But as soon as INTEGER values are read off of disk and into memory for processing, they are converted to the most general datatype (8-byte signed integer). And so for the most part, "storage class" is indistinguishable from "datatype" and the two terms can be used interchangeably.
