1) I have two tables: Photos table and EXIF table. EXIF table stores the exif data of a photo.

Photo table has: Photo_id, exif_id.
EXIF table has: exif_id, photo_id.

So in essence, exif_id in photo table can be FK to exif_id in EXIF table. But photo_id in exif table can be FK to photo_id in photo table. Do i need two FKs here or can one FK do?

2) All sample schemas I have seen have a photo table for alum photos. What about profile album and the live profile photo? IS that usually a separate table or just a flag in the album table?

    your question is a little vague, but based on the given info:

    1) you only need exif_id if you can have multiple EXIF rows per Photo_id. If not, just go with Photo_id

    2) I’d just use a flag to tell the photo type.
