5. Schema Evaluatie

5.1 Normalisatie

✅ 3NF Compliant

✅ Alle tabellen gegenormaliseerd
✅ Geen redundante data
✅ Foreign key relaties correct gedefinieerd
✅ Atomaire waarden in alle kolommen

5.2 Data Types - Opmerkingen van Docent

VARCHAR → ENUM/SPECIFIC TYPE

⚠️ Issue: Sommige kolommen gebruikten VARCHAR voor vaste waarden Oplossing: Gewijzigd naar ENUM waar van toepassing

Voorbeelden:

fire_type: ENUM('ground_fire', 'surface_fire', 'crown_fire') ✅
status: ENUM('active', 'contained', 'extinguished') ✅
alert_type: ENUM('fire_detected', 'high_risk', 'weather_warning') ✅

Decimale Waarden

⚠️ Opmerking: Temperature en slope moeten DECIMAL zijn voor precisie

Huiderplaat:

sql

-- ✅ CORRECT
temperature DECIMAL(5, 2)  -- range: -999.99 to 9999.99, 2 decimals
slope DECIMAL(5, 2)        -- range: 0 to 100%, 2 decimals

-- ❌ FOUT
temperature FLOAT          -- precision issues
slope INT                  -- loses decimal precision

POLYGON Datatype

⚠️ Opmerking: Geografische data handling

Huderplaat Opties:

Met geografische support (AANBEVOLEN)

sql

ALTER TABLE perimeters MODIFY COLUMN polygon 
GEOMETRY SRID 4326;  -- WGS84 projection

-- Enable spatial indexing
CREATE SPATIAL INDEX idx_polygon ON perimeters(polygon);

Voordelen: Efficiënte queries, bounding box filtering, distance calculations

Zonder geografische support

sql

-- Model polygons in separate table
CREATE TABLE polygon_coordinates (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  perimeter_id INT NOT NULL,
  latitude DECIMAL(10, 8),
  longitude DECIMAL(11, 8),
  sequence INT,  -- order in polygon
  FOREIGN KEY (perimeter_id) REFERENCES perimeters(id),
  INDEX idx_perimeter_seq (perimeter_id, sequence)
);

Image Storage

⚠️ Opmerking: Images niet opslaan als BLOB

❌ FOUT:

sql

CREATE TABLE images (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  image_data LONGBLOB  -- Large, slow, hard to manage
);

✅ CORRECT:

sql

CREATE TABLE incident_images (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  incident_id INT NOT NULL,
  image_path VARCHAR(500),  -- /uploads/incidents/2025/001/image.jpg
  image_hash VARCHAR(64),   -- SHA-256 unique identifier
  file_size INT,
  uploaded_at TIMESTAMP,
  FOREIGN KEY (incident_id) REFERENCES incidents(id)
);

6. Kritieke Aanpassingen (Docent Feedback)

Issue 1: FK als PK in 4 Tabellen

⚠️ GEVONDEN & OPGELOST

Probleem: FK-kolom was aangeduid als PK (onmogelijk - PK moet unique zijn)

Oplossing: ID-kolom (PK) toegevoegd aan alle tabellen

sql

-- ❌ FOUT
CREATE TABLE readings (
  sensor_id INT PRIMARY KEY,  -- This is FK, cannot be PK!
  FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors(id)
);

-- ✅ CORRECT
CREATE TABLE readings (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  sensor_id INT NOT NULL,
  reading_value DECIMAL(5, 2),
  FOREIGN KEY (sensor_id) REFERENCES sensors(id)
);

Issue 2: Naming Convention

⚠️ GEVONDEN & OPGELOST

Problemen:

❌ Gemengde case: perimeter en Perimeters
❌ Afkappingstekens: perimeters_id i.p.v. perimeter_id
❌ Nederlandse termen vermengd met Engels

Oplossing: Alles genormaliseerd naar:

Volledig Engels
Lowercase met underscores
Enkelvoudige namen: location_id, perimeter_id, incident_id

Issue 3: Datatype Validatie

⚠️ BEVRUCHT

Kolom	Origineel	Opgelost
`fire_type`	VARCHAR(50)	ENUM(...) ✅
`temperature`	INT	DECIMAL(5,2) ✅
`slope`	INT	DECIMAL(5,2) ✅
`humidity`	INT	INT 0-100 ✅
`wind_direction`	VARCHAR(50)	VARCHAR(10) ✅

7. Relaties & Integriteit

Primary Keys

✅ Alle tabellen hebben unieke ID kolom als PK

Foreign Keys

✅ Alle relaties correct gedefinieerd:

users <── perimeters (veel naar veel)
       └─── incidents ─────> locations
                      ├──> alerts
                      └──> incident_images

locations <── weather_data
         └────> sensor_readings

perimeters <── incidents
         └────> alerts
         └────> polygon_coordinates

Constraints

✅ NOT NULL waar nodig
✅ UNIQUE constraints op email
✅ DEFAULT values ingesteld
✅ Foreign key cascade delete ingesteld

8. Performance Optimalisatie

Indices

Volgende indices gedefinieerd:

sql

-- Query optimization
CREATE INDEX idx_perimeter_date ON incidents(perimeter_id, start_date);
CREATE INDEX idx_location_time ON weather_data(location_id, measurement_time);
CREATE INDEX idx_incident ON incident_images(incident_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_perimeter_severity ON alerts(perimeter_id, severity);

Normalisatie vs. Denormalisatie

✅ Schema volledig genormaliseerd
✅ Redundantie geminimaliseerd
✅ Query joins geoptimaliseerd
