SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

PostgreSQL pattern guide consolidates best practices for query optimization, schema design, indexing, and security based on Supabase-inspired guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pattern: Query optimization and indexing strategies to improve performance, including composite and partial indexes, and coverage considerations.
  • Pattern: Schema design guidelines covering normalization, denormalization, data types, and relationship modeling.
  • Pattern: Security patterns including Row Level Security (RLS), access controls, and secure defaults.
  • Use Case: Optimize a slow-running query by adding an appropriate index and rewriting a join.

Quick Start

Apply the PostgreSQL patterns to your current project to improve performance and security.

Frequently Asked Questions about postgres-patterns

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I optimize slow PostgreSQL queries using indexes?▼

Apply PostgreSQL query optimization patterns by selecting appropriate B-tree, GIN, or BRIN indexes and rewriting joins. Use composite and partial indexes to satisfy specific query conditions and improve database read performance.

What is Row Level Security and how do I configure it in PostgreSQL?▼

Row Level Security (RLS) restricts data access at the row level based on user roles. Configure RLS in PostgreSQL by defining access control policies to enforce secure defaults and protect sensitive data records.

What are the best practices for PostgreSQL schema design and data types?▼

PostgreSQL schema design best practices involve balancing normalization and denormalization while modeling relationships. Select appropriate data types to ensure schema robustness and satisfy real-world database workflow requirements.

Can I use UPSERT conventions in PostgreSQL to handle data migration?▼

Yes, you can use PostgreSQL UPSERT conventions during data migration to handle conflicts smoothly. Apply specific UPSERT patterns to ensure data integrity when inserting or updating records in existing database schemas.

When should I use BRIN indexes instead of B-tree in PostgreSQL?▼

Use BRIN indexes for large PostgreSQL tables with naturally ordered data to save storage. Choose B-tree indexes for general-purpose querying and composite indexes when optimizing specific multi-column query filters.
