-# General guidelines for Database schema:
-
-- String fields whose values are NOT open-ended (ie can contain random strings) should be changed to either:
-  - an FK to a separate lookup table (when the domain of options is large or can grow)
-  - an enum (when there are a short list of essentailly static options)
-
-- Field names should follow SQL standards:
-  - lower case
-  - underscore_separated_words
-
-- options for designated models should be standardized with: 
-  {
-    tableName: "table_name",
-    comment: "description of table if not self-evident",
-    timestamps: true,
-    createdAt: 'created_at',
-    updatedAt: 'updated_at',
-    indexes: [
-      { <as required> }
-    ]
-  };
-  
- ## Note regarding field attributes specified in model:
- 
-  - createdAt, updatedAt are renamed to abide by SQL standard.
-
-  - by default allowNull is false, so this attribute need only be specified when fields are NOT NULL.
-
-  - comment attribute should added to any field that is not self-evident
-
-  - may need to add indexes to more fields for rapid access  
-
-  ## Notes regarding changes / updates
-
-  - Some 1-1 tables are split up simply to separate scope or to control access permission (ie only user_preferences table may be edited by users themselves)
-
-  ## Sequelize Operational  Questions:
-  - Are indexes automatically generated by Sequelize migration for primary keys and/or foreign keys ?
-  - Does Sequelize add non-unique indexes for data mining if specified: eg { fields: ['username'] }
-  - Do timestamp fields require default value spec (eg Sequelize.NOW) ... or how can we define this in model ?
-
-  ## Ongoing Questions:
-  - payments table needs to be investigated and refactored
-  - is invoices table required or is this just summary information ?
-  - orders table needs to be investigated and refactored 
-  - need to add subscriptions table if applicable ( what is this comprised of ?)
-  - user_keys table should be commented to clarify application of each of these values.
