What you have built

Congratulations! 🎉 You now have the database foundation for a simple library borrowing application. The database contains:

code text 
students
    │
    │
    ▼
borrow
    ▲
    │
    │
books
And the application can build on top of it to support:
    1. adding students
    2. adding books
    3. recording a book borrowing
    4. returning books
    5. searching students
    6. searching books
    7. viewing borrowing history
    8. showing currently borrowed books
The most important idea to remember is:
The migration defines the database structure. The PHP application uses that structure to perform everyday operations.

Next step

With the database in place, the next part of the project can focus on connecting PHP to MySQL using PDO and building the application layer for students, books, and borrowing transactions. A good next progression is:
