-This page documents the relational design for BEST Skopje Hub, based on ERModel_v10. The design uses partial transformation from the ER model into a PostgreSQL relational schema. Strong entities are mapped directly to relations, weak entities include the primary keys of their owner entities, specializations are mapped with one relation for the supertype and one relation for each subtype, and M:N relationships are mapped as separate relations.

 The specialization of students into members and then into observers, young members, full members, and alumni is represented through subtype tables whose primary keys are also foreign keys. `young_members` also contains `mentor_index`, which represents the mentorship relationship directly as a foreign key to `full_members`.
 
-The weak entities from ERModel_v10 are represented with composite primary keys where they still depend on an owner entity. `event_functions` uses `(ee_id, ef_no)`, and `event_sessions` uses `(ee_id, es_no)`. Other concrete entities such as `activity_sessions` and `event_editions` use their own numeric identifiers.

 The Locations entity is represented with `locations`. The relationship between !EventEditions and Locations is represented with `event_edition_locations`.
 
-The relationships `has_stage`, `participation`, `announces_absence`, `responsible_for`, `volunteers`, `cooperation`, `related_to`, `holds_function`, and the event-edition location relationship are represented as relations because they either have M:N cardinality, their own attributes, or are clearer without nullable foreign-key columns. The relationship `related_to` is represented separately because only some activity sessions are connected to event editions. The relationship `applies_with` is represented with the foreign key `student_index` in `applications`, because each application belongs to one student. The N:1 relationships `for_function`, `for_participation`, `takes_place_at`, `held_at`, and `mentorship` are represented directly with foreign keys on the N-side relation.

-The DML script recreates realistic sample data for all relations. It clears the current contents of the tables and inserts connected sample data for students, members, membership stages, activity sessions, event-related activity links, event editions, event sessions, applications, companies, volunteering, mentorship, attendance/RSVP, announced absences, and organizational functions.

-AI was used during this phase as a consultation, drafting, and checking tool while preparing the relational design from the already completed ERModel_v10. The AI-assisted parts were reviewed against the existing ER model and project requirements before being included.
