+# dbItemBaseHandler Documentation
+
+## Overview
+This document describes the database relationships and interactions for the `dbItemBaseHandler` class. This handler manages static item base data, including item properties, stats, and appearance information.
+
+## Handler Class
+**File:** `src/engine/db/handlers/dbItemBaseHandler.java`
+**Class:** `dbItemBaseHandler`
+**Extends:** `dbHandlerBase`
+
+## Database Tables
+
+### Main Item Base Table
+- **Table Name:** `static_itembase`
+- **Description:** Core table storing base properties of items, including names, descriptions, and appearance settings
+- **Columns:** 
+  - UID (Primary Key)
+  - name
+  - description
+  - itemClass
+  - icon
+  - mesh
+
+### Related Tables
+
+| Table Name | Description | Relationship |
+|------------|-------------|--------------|
+| `static_item_bakedinstat` | Stores stat information for items | ItemBaseID → static_itembase.UID |
+| `static_itembase_animations` | Stores animation settings for items | ItemBaseID → static_itembase.UID |
+
+## Key Queries
+
+### Get Item Base by UID
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM static_itembase WHERE `UID` = ?
+```
+**File:** `dbItemBaseHandler.java`, Line ~25
+
+### Get Item Stats
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM static_item_bakedinstat WHERE `itemBaseID` = ?
+```
+**File:** `dbItemBaseHandler.java`, Line ~40
+
+### Get Item Animations
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM static_itembase_animations WHERE `itemBaseID` = ?
+```
+**File:** `dbItemBaseHandler.java`, Line ~55
+
+## Relationships
+
+1. **Item Base to Stats:** One-to-many relationship via itemBaseID field in static_item_bakedinstat referencing static_itembase.UID
+2. **Item Base to Animations:** One-to-many relationship via itemBaseID field in static_itembase_animations referencing static_itembase.UID
+
