What problem does it solve?

PostgreSQL schema design often struggles with selecting optimal data types, enforcing data integrity, and maintaining scalable, portable DDL across evolving applications. This skill provides clear guidance on best practices that reduce migration toil and improve long-term maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Use best practices for data types, constraints, indexing, and normalization to ensure robust, scalable schemas.
• Provide guidance for advanced PostgreSQL features like JSONB, partitions, triggers, and native enums to optimize storage and performance.
• Use Case: design a scalable transactional schema for an e-commerce platform with auditing and versioned data.

Quick Start

Define a baseline PostgreSQL schema pattern for a new project and apply it to migrations and automated tests.
