🛠️ Getting Started for Developers

1. Database Deployment

-- Deploy the complete schema
\i database/schema/01_core_schema.sql
\i database/schema/02_constraints_indexes.sql

-- Load sample data for testing
\i database/seeds/01_sample_data.sql

2. Common Queries

-- Today's appointments

SELECT * FROM vista_agenda_diaria WHERE fecha = CURRENT_DATE;

-- Vaccination due in next 7 days

SELECT * FROM vista_recordatorios_vacunacion WHERE dias_para_proxima <= 7;

-- Patient medical history

SELECT * FROM vista_historial_medico WHERE id_mascota = 1;
