interface User {
  id: string;              // Primary key
  username: string;        // Pi Network username
  email: string;          // User email
  wallet_address: string; // Pi wallet address
  created_at: Date;       // Account creation date
  settings?: Settings;    // Related settings
  transactions?: Transaction[]; // Related transactions
}

2. Transaction Model

interface Transaction {
  id: string;           // Primary key
  user_id: string;      // Foreign key to User
  amount: number;       // Transaction amount
  type: 'buy' | 'sell'; // Transaction type
  status: 'pending' | 'completed' | 'failed'; // Transaction status
  created_at: Date;     // Transaction date
  analytics?: Analytics[]; // Related analytics
}

3. Analytics Model

interface Analytics {
  id: string;           // Primary key
  transaction_id: string; // Foreign key to Transaction
  metrics: {            // JSON metrics data
    processing_time: number;

Data Access Patterns

1. User Operations

   -- Create User
   INSERT INTO users (id, username, email, wallet_address)
   VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4);
   
   -- Get User with Settings
   SELECT u.*, s.*
   FROM users u
   LEFT JOIN settings s ON u.id = s.user_id
   WHERE u.id = $1;

2. Transaction Operations

   -- Create Transaction
   INSERT INTO transactions (id, user_id, amount, type, status)
   VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5);
   
   -- Get User Transactions
   SELECT t.*, a.*
   FROM transactions t
   LEFT JOIN analytics a ON t.id = a.transaction_id
   WHERE t.user_id = $1
   ORDER BY t.created_at DESC;

3. Analytics Operations

   -- Create Analytics Entry
   INSERT INTO analytics (id, transaction_id, metrics)
   VALUES ($1, $2, $3);
   
   -- Get Transaction Analytics
   SELECT *
   FROM analytics
   WHERE transaction_id = $1;

Performance Optimization

1. Indexes

   -- User Indexes
   CREATE INDEX idx_users_username ON users(username);
   CREATE INDEX idx_users_wallet ON users(wallet_address);
   
   -- Transaction Indexes
   CREATE INDEX idx_transactions_user ON transactions(user_id);
   CREATE INDEX idx_transactions_status ON transactions(status);
   CREATE INDEX idx_transactions_date ON transactions(created_at);

2. Caching Strategy

   // Cache Configuration
   const cacheConfig = {
     user: { ttl: 3600 },        // 1 hour
     transaction: { ttl: 1800 },  // 30 minutes
     analytics: { ttl: 7200 }     // 2 hours
   };
