 ## Limitations
 
-### Composite Foreign Keys
+### Composite Foreign Keys (By Design)
 
-Currently only single-column foreign keys are supported. Composite foreign keys must be added manually:
+Single-column foreign keys are supported at the column level. Composite foreign keys require table-level constraints that reference multiple tables, which is outside the scope of single-table schema generation.
+
+**Why this is intentional:** `createTable` generates schema for one table at a time. Composite foreign keys are cross-table relationships that should be managed explicitly by developers as part of overall database design.
+
+**Pattern for composite foreign keys:**
 
 ```typescript
-// Not supported in column config
-// Workaround: Add after table creation
-ALTER TABLE order_items 
-ADD CONSTRAINT fk_order 
-FOREIGN KEY (tenant_id, order_id) 
-REFERENCES orders(tenant_id, id);
+// 1. Create parent table with composite primary key
+const { table: ordersTable } = createTable({
+  name: 'orders',
+  columns: [
+    { name: 'tenant_id', schema: z.string() },
+    { name: 'order_id', schema: z.int() },
+    { name: 'total', schema: z.number() },
+  ],
+  primaryKeys: ['tenant_id', 'order_id'],
+})
+
+// 2. Create child table with matching columns
+const { table: itemsTable } = createTable({
+  name: 'order_items',
+  columns: [
+    { name: 'id', schema: z.int() },
+    { name: 'tenant_id', schema: z.string() },
+    { name: 'order_id', schema: z.int() },
+    { name: 'product', schema: z.string() },
+  ],
+  primaryKeys: ['id'],
+})
+
+// 3. Execute table creation
+db.exec(ordersTable)
+db.exec(itemsTable)
+
+// 4. Add composite foreign key constraint
+db.exec(`
+  ALTER TABLE order_items 
+  ADD CONSTRAINT fk_order 
+  FOREIGN KEY (tenant_id, order_id) 
+  REFERENCES orders(tenant_id, order_id)
+  ON DELETE CASCADE
+`)
 ```
 
 ### Complex CHECK Constraints
 
-Only specific Zod validations are converted to CHECK constraints:
-- Enums and literals
-- Numeric min/max
-- String length min/max/equals
+Only specific Zod validations generate CHECK constraints:
+- **Enums and literals**: `z.enum(['a', 'b'])`, `z.literal('value')`
+- **Numeric ranges**: `.min()`, `.max()` on numbers
+- **String length**: `.min()`, `.max()`, `.length()` on strings
 
-Custom refinements and complex validations are not converted:
+Custom refinements and complex validations work at the application level but don't generate SQL constraints:
 
 ```typescript
-z.string().refine(val => val.includes('@'), 'Must contain @')
-// This validation works in TypeScript but won't create a CHECK constraint
+{ 
+  name: 'email', 
+  schema: z.string().refine(val => val.includes('@'), 'Must contain @')
+}
+// ✅ Runtime validation works
+// ❌ No CHECK constraint in SQL
+// Still stored as: email TEXT NOT NULL
 ```
 
+**Why:** SQL CHECK constraints are limited compared to JavaScript validation. Complex rules should be validated in application code using the generated Zod schema.
+
 ### Array and Object Storage
 
-Arrays and objects are stored as TEXT (JSON). You must handle serialization:
+Arrays and objects are stored as TEXT with JSON serialization. You must handle serialization manually:
 
 ```typescript
 { name: 'tags', schema: z.array(z.string()) }
-// Stored as TEXT, you need to JSON.stringify/parse manually
+// SQL: tags TEXT NOT NULL
+
+// You need to handle:
+const data = { tags: ['tech', 'news'] }
+db.exec(`INSERT INTO posts (tags) VALUES (?)`, [JSON.stringify(data.tags)])
+
+const result = db.query(`SELECT tags FROM posts`)
+const tags = JSON.parse(result.tags) // ['tech', 'news']
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** For better queryability, consider separate tables for array data:
+```typescript
+// Instead of storing tags as JSON array
+// Use a junction table: post_tags (post_id, tag_id)
 ```
 
 ### Date Handling
 
-Dates are stored as TEXT in ISO 8601 format. SQLite has limited native date support:
+Dates are stored as TEXT in ISO 8601 format. SQLite doesn't have a native DATE type:
 
 ```typescript
 { name: 'created_at', schema: z.date() }
-// Stored as TEXT: '2026-01-06T12:30:00.000Z'
-// Use SQLite date functions for queries: date(created_at)
+// SQL: created_at DATE NOT NULL
+// Stored as TEXT: '2026-01-07T12:30:00.000Z'
+```
+
+**Querying dates:** Use SQLite's date functions:
+```sql
+-- Filter by date
+SELECT * FROM posts WHERE date(created_at) = '2026-01-07'
+
+-- Date arithmetic
+SELECT * FROM posts WHERE date(created_at) > date('now', '-7 days')
+
+-- Extract parts
+SELECT strftime('%Y', created_at) as year FROM posts
 ```
 
 ### No Migration Support
 
-This generates CREATE TABLE statements but doesn't handle schema migrations. For production use, consider a migration tool.
+This library generates CREATE TABLE statements for initial schema definition. It does not:
+- Track schema changes over time
+- Generate ALTER TABLE migrations
+- Handle data migrations
+- Manage version history
+
+### SQLite-Specific Features
+
+This tool is designed specifically for SQLite. Some features may not translate to other databases:
 
-### SQLite-Specific
+| Feature | SQLite Behavior | Other Databases |
+|---------|----------------|-----------------|
+| Type System | Dynamic type affinity | Strict typing (PostgreSQL, MySQL) |
+| Boolean Storage | 0/1 integers | True BOOLEAN type |
+| Date Storage | TEXT in ISO 8601 | Native DATE/TIMESTAMP types |
+| CHECK Constraints | Fully supported | Varies by database |
+| Foreign Keys | Optional (needs PRAGMA) | Usually enforced by default |
 
-This is designed specifically for SQLite. Features may not translate to other databases:
-- Type affinity rules are SQLite-specific
-- Some constraint syntax is SQLite-specific
-- Boolean storage as 0/1 is SQLite convention
+**Portability:** If you need multi-database support, consider an ORM like Prisma or TypeORM instead.
 
 ### Foreign Key Enforcement
 
-SQLite doesn't enforce foreign keys by default. You must enable them:
+**Critical:** SQLite does not enforce foreign key constraints by default. You must enable them:
 
-```sql
-PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;
+```typescript
+// Example using db0
+const db = createDatabase(sqlite({ 
+  name: './db.sqlite',
+}))
+
+// Enable for each database connection
+db.exec('PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON')
 ```
 
-This must be set for each database connection.
+Without this pragma:
+- Foreign key constraints are ignored
+- No referential integrity checks
+- Data can become inconsistent
+
+**Always enable this in production** to maintain data integrity.
