= Defining Database Schema

Once you have finished evaluating and refining the physical model,
you’re ready to implement the schema in CQL. Here is the schema for the
`hotel` keyspace, using CQL’s comment feature to document the query
pattern supported by each table:

[source,cql]
----
CREATE KEYSPACE hotel WITH replication =
  {‘class’: ‘SimpleStrategy’, ‘replication_factor’ : 3};

CREATE TYPE hotel.address (
  street text,
  city text,
  state_or_province text,
  postal_code text,
  country text );

CREATE TABLE hotel.hotels_by_poi (
  poi_name text,
  hotel_id text,
  name text,
  phone text,
  address frozen<address>,
  PRIMARY KEY ((poi_name), hotel_id) )
  WITH comment = ‘Q1. Find hotels near given poi’
  AND CLUSTERING ORDER BY (hotel_id ASC) ;

CREATE TABLE hotel.hotels (
  id text PRIMARY KEY,
  name text,
  phone text,
  address frozen<address>,
  pois set )
  WITH comment = ‘Q2. Find information about a hotel’;

CREATE TABLE hotel.pois_by_hotel (
  poi_name text,
  hotel_id text,
  description text,
  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id), poi_name) )
  WITH comment = Q3. Find pois near a hotel’;

CREATE TABLE hotel.available_rooms_by_hotel_date (
  hotel_id text,
  date date,
  room_number smallint,
  is_available boolean,
  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id), date, room_number) )
  WITH comment = ‘Q4. Find available rooms by hotel date’;

CREATE TABLE hotel.amenities_by_room (
  hotel_id text,
  room_number smallint,
  amenity_name text,
  description text,
  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id, room_number), amenity_name) )
  WITH comment = ‘Q5. Find amenities for a room’;
----

Notice that the elements of the partition key are surrounded with
parentheses, even though the partition key consists of the single column
`poi_name`. This is a best practice that makes the selection of
partition key more explicit to others reading your CQL.

Similarly, here is the schema for the `reservation` keyspace:

[source,cql]
----
CREATE KEYSPACE reservation WITH replication = {‘class’:
  ‘SimpleStrategy’, ‘replication_factor’ : 3};

CREATE TYPE reservation.address (
  street text,
  city text,
  state_or_province text,
  postal_code text,
  country text );

CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_confirmation (
  confirm_number text,
  hotel_id text,
  start_date date,
  end_date date,
  room_number smallint,
  guest_id uuid,
  PRIMARY KEY (confirm_number) )
  WITH comment = ‘Q6. Find reservations by confirmation number’;

CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_hotel_date (
  hotel_id text,
  start_date date,
  end_date date,
  room_number smallint,
  confirm_number text,
  guest_id uuid,
  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id, start_date), room_number) )
  WITH comment = ‘Q7. Find reservations by hotel and date’;

CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_guest (
  guest_last_name text,
  hotel_id text,
  start_date date,
  end_date date,
  room_number smallint,
  confirm_number text,
  guest_id uuid,
  PRIMARY KEY ((guest_last_name), hotel_id) )
  WITH comment = ‘Q8. Find reservations by guest name’;

CREATE TABLE reservation.guests (
  guest_id uuid PRIMARY KEY,
  first_name text,
  last_name text,
  title text,
  emails set,
  phone_numbers list,
  addresses map<text,
  frozen<address>,
  confirm_number text )
  WITH comment = ‘Q9. Find guest by ID’;
----

You now have a complete Cassandra schema for storing data for a hotel
application.
