+# JSONB Elimination Plan
+
+**PROJECT RULE**: NEVER STORE JSON OR JSONB IN SQL COLUMNS  
+*"If your data is relational, model it relationally. JSON blobs destroy queryability, performance, data integrity, and your coworkers' sanity. Just make the damn tables. NO JSON OR JSONB INSIDE DATABASE CELLS!!!"*
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Current JSONB Violations
+
+### Critical Violations (Must Fix)
+- ❌ `rides.coaster_stats` - JSONB column storing coaster-specific statistics
+- ❌ `rides.technical_specs` - JSONB column storing technical specifications
+- ❌ `ride_models.technical_specs` - JSONB column storing model specifications
+- ❌ `user_top_lists.items` - JSONB array storing list items
+
+### Migration Status
+- ⏳ **Phase 1**: Creating relational tables (IN PROGRESS)
+  - ✅ `coaster_stats` table created
+  - ✅ `technical_specifications` table created
+  - ⏳ `list_items` table (pending schema verification)
+- ⏳ **Phase 2**: Data migration scripts (PENDING)
+- ⏳ **Phase 3**: Drop JSONB columns (PENDING)
+- ⏳ **Phase 4**: Update application code (PENDING)
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Acceptable JSONB Usage
+
+These are the ONLY approved JSONB columns (configuration objects, no relational structure):
+
+### User Preferences (Configuration)
+- ✅ `user_preferences.unit_preferences` - User measurement preferences
+- ✅ `user_preferences.privacy_settings` - Privacy configuration
+- ✅ `user_preferences.notification_preferences` - Notification settings
+
+### System Configuration
+- ✅ `admin_settings.setting_value` - System configuration values
+- ✅ `notification_channels.configuration` - Channel config objects
+- ✅ `admin_audit_log.details` - Audit metadata (non-queryable)
+
+### Legacy Support (To Be Eliminated)
+- ⚠️ `content_submissions.content` - Has strict validation, but should migrate to `submission_metadata` table
+- ⚠️ `rides.former_names` - Array field, should migrate to `entity_former_names` table
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Refactoring Plan
+
+### 1. Coaster Stats → Relational Table (2 hours)
+
+**Current**: `rides.coaster_stats JSONB`
+
+**New Structure**:
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE public.coaster_stats (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+  ride_id UUID REFERENCES rides(id),
+  stat_type TEXT CHECK (stat_type IN (
+    'vertical_angle', 'airtime_seconds', 'track_material',
+    'train_type', 'seats_per_train', 'number_of_trains'
+  )),
+  stat_value TEXT NOT NULL,
+  stat_unit TEXT,
+  display_order INTEGER,
+  UNIQUE(ride_id, stat_type)
+);
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Queryable: `SELECT * FROM coaster_stats WHERE stat_type = 'vertical_angle' AND stat_value > 90`
+- ✅ Indexed: Fast lookups by ride_id or stat_type
+- ✅ Type safe: No JSON parsing errors
+- ✅ Referential integrity: Cascade deletes when ride is deleted
+
+---
+
+### 2. Technical Specs → Relational Table (2 hours)
+
+**Current**: 
+- `rides.technical_specs JSONB`
+- `ride_models.technical_specs JSONB`
+
+**New Structure**:
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE public.technical_specifications (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+  entity_type TEXT CHECK (entity_type IN ('ride', 'ride_model')),
+  entity_id UUID NOT NULL,
+  spec_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  spec_value TEXT NOT NULL,
+  spec_unit TEXT,
+  display_order INTEGER,
+  UNIQUE(entity_type, entity_id, spec_name)
+);
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Unified specs table for both rides and models
+- ✅ Easy filtering: `WHERE spec_name = 'track_gauge'`
+- ✅ Easy sorting by display_order
+- ✅ No JSON parsing in queries
+
+---
+
+### 3. User Top Lists → Relational Table (1.5 hours)
+
+**Current**: `user_top_lists.items JSONB` (array of `{id, position, notes}`)
+
+**New Structure**:
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE public.list_items (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+  list_id UUID REFERENCES user_top_lists(id),
+  entity_type TEXT CHECK (entity_type IN ('park', 'ride', 'coaster')),
+  entity_id UUID NOT NULL,
+  position INTEGER NOT NULL,
+  notes TEXT,
+  UNIQUE(list_id, position),
+  UNIQUE(list_id, entity_id)
+);
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Proper foreign key constraints to entities
+- ✅ Easy reordering with position updates
+- ✅ Can join to get entity details directly
+- ✅ No array manipulation in application code
+
+---
+
+### 4. Former Names → Relational Table (1 hour)
+
+**Current**: `rides.former_names TEXT[]`
+
+**New Structure**:
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE public.entity_former_names (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+  entity_type TEXT CHECK (entity_type IN ('park', 'ride', 'company')),
+  entity_id UUID NOT NULL,
+  former_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  used_from DATE,
+  used_until DATE,
+  change_reason TEXT,
+  display_order INTEGER,
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
+);
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Track date ranges for name changes
+- ✅ Add reasons for name changes
+- ✅ Query by date range
+- ✅ Unified table for all entities
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Performance Benefits
+
+### Before (JSONB)
+```sql
+-- Slow, requires full table scan + JSON parsing
+SELECT * FROM rides 
+WHERE coaster_stats->>'vertical_angle' > '90';
+
+-- Cannot index JSON keys efficiently
+-- Cannot enforce referential integrity
+-- Type errors only caught at runtime
+```
+
+### After (Relational)
+```sql
+-- Fast, uses indexes
+SELECT r.* FROM rides r
+JOIN coaster_stats cs ON cs.ride_id = r.id
+WHERE cs.stat_type = 'vertical_angle' 
+  AND cs.stat_value::numeric > 90;
+
+-- Proper indexes on ride_id and stat_type
+-- Database enforces constraints
+-- Type errors caught at migration time
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Implementation Priority
+
+1. **HIGH**: `coaster_stats` - Most frequently queried
+2. **HIGH**: `technical_specs` - Used across rides and models
+3. **MEDIUM**: `list_items` - User-facing feature
+4. **MEDIUM**: `former_names` - Historical data tracking
+5. **LOW**: `content_submissions.content` - Has validation, migrate when capacity allows
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Completed Migrations
+
+- ✅ `reviews.photos` → `review_photos` table (migration 20251001231631)
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Migration Checklist (Per Table)
+
+For each JSONB elimination:
+
+- [ ] Create new relational table with proper schema
+- [ ] Add RLS policies matching parent table
+- [ ] Create indexes for performance
+- [ ] Write data migration script to copy existing data
+- [ ] Update all application queries to use new table
+- [ ] Update all forms/components to use new structure  
+- [ ] Test thoroughly in staging
+- [ ] Deploy migration to production
+- [ ] Drop JSONB column after verification
+- [ ] Update documentation
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Success Metrics
+
+When complete, the codebase will have:
+
+✅ **Zero JSONB columns** (except approved configuration)  
+✅ **100% queryable data** using standard SQL  
+✅ **Proper foreign key constraints** throughout  
+✅ **Type-safe queries** with compile-time validation  
+✅ **Better performance** through proper indexing  
+✅ **Easier maintenance** with clear relational structure
