The database is built on SQLite — a single file (plantleaf.db) that requires no complex server infrastructure, making it well suited for small to medium scientific projects.
Internally, a single table (files) acts as a structured archive of metadata. From a database design perspective, this is a minimal relational model — one entity, no relationships.
Each record represents a file and stores:
id
filename, description
file_type
The database stores metadata only — not the experimental data itself.
When a file is uploaded: format is validated, the file is saved to the filesystem, and a new record is created in the database.
When the file list is requested, the files table is queried and results are ordered by upload date.
Each time a file is downloaded, the downloads counter is incremented in the record.
When a file is removed, it is deleted from the filesystem and its corresponding record is removed from the database.
The database acts as a structured index of files, a download tracking system, and a data interface for the API. It follows a clear separation between data and metadata: real files live in the filesystem, while the database stores only information about them — reducing load and increasing efficiency.
It is not designed for complex analysis, but for fast access, simplicity, and reliability.
