Posts, comments, replies, and likes database schema
I have a site where a users can comment on posts or reply to a comment. The user can also like replies or comments. Replies are not nested, so a reply doesn't have a reply. However, there is another field called reply_to within the reply table. Here's my current schema:
Comment
id
user (foreign key)
post (foreign key)
comment
Reply
id
user (foreign key)
comment (foreign key)
reply
CommentLike (Table that shows which user liked which comments)
id
comment (foreign key)
user (foreign key)
like (1 = likes, 0 = dislikes)
ReplyLike (Table that shows which user liked which replies)
id
reply (foreign key)
user (foreign key)
like (1 = likes, 0 = dislikes)
Does this seem like a good schema to use, or is there a better way to create this sort of structure?
