A template for astronomical databases. This is a template repository — you can use this to create your own repository, the build your use case from there on out.

We encourage users to follow the detailed best practices for astronomical databases outlined in Chen et al. 2022.

The only dependency for running the template is AstrodbKit2. It can be installed with the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/dr-rodriguez/AstrodbKit2

[todo: add a bunch of clear description here] At the user level, customizing this database involves working with the schema. In database-speak, a "schema" describes how various "tables" (aggregates of related data) are related to one another.

Under the hood, this template leans heavily on AstrodbKit2, a codebase built on SQLAlchemy.
