Option 2: SQL Script (Fastest!)

Run this in Supabase SQL Editor:

-- Insert Address
INSERT INTO addresses (street_address, city, state, postal_code, country, latitude, longitude)
VALUES ('123 Medical Plaza', 'Bangalore', 'Karnataka', '560001', 'India', 12.9716, 77.5946)
RETURNING id AS address_id \gset

-- Insert Hospital
INSERT INTO hospitals (
  name, address_id, phone_number, email, website_url,
  emergency_capacity, current_emergency_occupancy, total_beds, available_beds,
  is_active, operates_24x7, facilities, accreditations, rating
)
VALUES (
  'Apollo Medical Center',
  :'address_id',
  '+91 80 2345 6789',
  'contact@apollo-medical.com',
  'https://apollo-medical.com',
  20, 5, 200, 45,
  true, true,
  ARRAY['ICU', 'Emergency', 'Radiology', 'Laboratory', 'Pharmacy'],
  ARRAY['NABH', 'JCI', 'ISO 9001'],
  4.5
)
RETURNING id AS hospital_id \gset

-- Insert Department
INSERT INTO departments (hospital_id, name, description, floor_number, is_active)
VALUES (:'hospital_id', 'Cardiology', 'Heart care and treatment', 3, true);

-- Note: For doctors, you'll need to create a user account first through registration
