    "entered_by": "user123"
  }'

# Search records
curl "http://localhost:3000/records/search?query=Main St&page=1&limit=10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Get record by ID
curl http://localhost:3000/records/<record-id> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

✅ AutoComplete

# Test autocomplete for property address
curl "http://localhost:3000/records/autocomplete/property_address?q=123&limit=10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Test autocomplete for borrower name
curl "http://localhost:3000/records/autocomplete/borrower_name?q=John&limit=5" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

✅ Record Locking

# Lock record
curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/records/<record-id>/lock \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Unlock record
curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/records/<record-id>/unlock \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Verify record (Good/Bad)
curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/records/<record-id>/verify \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"isGood": true}'

✅ Statistics

# Get record statistics
curl http://localhost:3000/records/statistics \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

✅ Batches

# Create batch
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/batches \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"batch_name": "2024-01-15-Daily", "batch_type": "Daily"}'

# Get all batches
curl http://localhost:3000/batches \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Database Verification

-- Check tables created
\dt

-- Verify record structure
\d records

-- Check sample data
SELECT id, property_address, borrower_name, status FROM records LIMIT 5;

-- Verify audit logs
SELECT * FROM audit_logs ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 10;

-- Check indexes

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Database Connection Failed
```
Error: ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5432
```
- Verify PostgreSQL is running
- Check DATABASE_* environment variables
- Ensure database exists
JWT Authentication Errors
```
Error: Invalid token
```
- Verify JWT_SECRET is set
- Check token expiration
- Ensure proper Authorization header format
TypeORM Synchronization Issues
```
Error: relation "records" does not exist
```
- Check database permissions
- Verify entity imports in modules
- Ensure synchronize: true in development
Search Performance Issues
```
Slow query execution
```
- Verify database indexes exist
- Check search_vector field population
- Monitor query execution plans

Performance Optimization

Database Indexing

CREATE INDEX idx_records_search ON records USING gin(to_tsvector('english', search_vector));
CREATE INDEX idx_records_status ON records(status);
CREATE INDEX idx_records_locked ON records(locked_by, lock_timestamp);

Query Optimization
- Use query builders for complex searches
- Implement result caching for autocomplete
- Paginate large result sets
Memory Management
- Connection pooling configuration
- Query result streaming for large datasets
- Garbage collection optimization
