# Database Design
### When to Load
- **Trigger**: Schema design, migrations, query optimization, indexing strategies, data modeling, N+1 fixes
- **Skip**: No database work involved in the current task
## Database Design Workflow
Copy this checklist and track progress:
```
Database Design Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Identify entities and relationships
- [ ] Step 2: Normalize schema (3NF minimum)
- [ ] Step 3: Evaluate denormalization needs
- [ ] Step 4: Design indexes for query patterns
- [ ] Step 5: Write and optimize critical queries
- [ ] Step 6: Plan migration strategy
- [ ] Step 7: Configure connection pooling
- [ ] Step 8: Validate against anti-patterns checklist
```
## Schema Design Principles
### Normalization Forms
```
1NF: Atomic values, no repeating groups
2NF: 1NF + no partial dependencies (all non-key columns depend on full PK)
3NF: 2NF + no transitive dependencies (non-key columns don't depend on other non-key columns)
```
```sql
-- WRONG: Unnormalized
CREATE TABLE orders (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
customer_name TEXT,
customer_email TEXT, -- duplicated across orders
product1_name TEXT, -- repeating groups
product1_qty INT,
product2_name TEXT,
product2_qty INT
);
-- CORRECT: Normalized to 3NF
CREATE TABLE customers (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
email TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE orders (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
customer_id INT REFERENCES customers(id),
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);
CREATE TABLE order_items (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
order_id INT REFERENCES orders(id),
product_id INT REFERENCES products(id),
quantity INT NOT NULL CHECK (quantity > 0)
);
```
### When to Denormalize
Denormalize only when you have measured proof of performance issues:
```sql
-- Acceptable denormalization: precomputed counter to avoid COUNT(*)
ALTER TABLE posts ADD COLUMN comment_count INT DEFAULT 0;
-- Update via trigger or application code
CREATE FUNCTION update_comment_count() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
IF TG_OP = 'INSERT' THEN
UPDATE posts SET comment_count = comment_count + 1 WHERE id = NEW.post_id;
ELSIF TG_OP = 'DELETE' THEN
UPDATE posts SET comment_count = comment_count - 1 WHERE id = OLD.post_id;
END IF;
RETURN NULL;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
```
## Indexing Strategy
### Index Types and When to Use
```
B-tree (default): Equality, range, sorting, LIKE 'prefix%'
Hash: Equality only (rarely better than B-tree)
GIN: Full-text search, JSONB, arrays
GiST: Geometry, range types, full-text
BRIN: Large tables with naturally ordered data (timestamps)
```
### Composite Indexes
```sql
-- Column order matters: leftmost prefix rule
CREATE INDEX idx_users_status_created ON users (status, created_at);
-- This index supports:
-- WHERE status = 'active' -- YES
-- WHERE status = 'active' AND created_at > '2024' -- YES
-- WHERE created_at > '2024' -- NO (skips first column)
```
### Partial and Covering Indexes
```sql
-- Partial index: only index rows matching condition
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_pending ON orders (created_at)
WHERE status = 'pending'; -- smaller index, faster lookups
-- Covering index: include columns to avoid table lookup
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email_covering ON users (email)
INCLUDE (name, avatar_url); -- index-only scan for profile lookups
```
### Index Anti-patterns
```sql
-- WRONG: Index on low-cardinality column alone
CREATE INDEX idx_users_active ON users (is_active); -- boolean = 2 values
-- WRONG: Too many indexes (slows writes)
-- Every INSERT/UPDATE must update ALL indexes
-- CORRECT: Composite index targeting actual queries
CREATE INDEX idx_users_active_created ON users (is_active, created_at DESC)
WHERE is_active = true;
```
## Query Optimization
### Reading EXPLAIN Plans
```sql
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT u.name, COUNT(o.id)
FROM users u
JOIN orders o ON o.user_id = u.id
WHERE u.status = 'active'
GROUP BY u.name;
-- Key things to look for:
-- Seq Scan -> missing index (on large tables)
-- Nested Loop -> fine for small sets, bad for large joins
-- Hash Join -> good for large equi-joins
-- Sort -> consider index to avoid sort
-- actual time -> real execution time
-- rows -> if estimated vs actual differ wildly, run ANALYZE
```
### N+1 Query Detection and Prevention
```python
# WRONG: N+1 queries (1 query for users + N queries for orders)
users = db.query(User).all()
for user in users:
orders = db.query(Order).filter(Order.user_id == user.id).all() # N queries!
# CORRECT: Eager loading with SQLAlchemy
users = db.query(User).options(joinedload(User.orders)).all()
# CORRECT: Batch query
user_ids = [u.id for u in users]
orders = db.query(Order).filter(Order.user_id.in_(user_ids)).all()
orders_by_user = defaultdict(list)
for order in orders:
orders_by_user[order.user_id].append(order)
```
```javascript
// WRONG: N+1 with Prisma
const users = await prisma.user.findMany();
for (const user of users) {
const orders = await prisma.order.findMany({ where: { userId: user.id } }); // N+1!
}
// CORRECT: Include relation
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
include: { orders: true },
});
// CORRECT: Batch with findMany + in
const userIds = users.map((u) => u.id);
const orders = await prisma.order.findMany({
where: { userId: { in: userIds } },
});
```
### Pagination
```sql
-- WRONG: OFFSET pagination (rescans all skipped rows)
SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 20 OFFSET 10000;
-- CORRECT: Cursor-based pagination (keyset)
SELECT * FROM posts
WHERE created_at < '2024-01-15T10:30:00Z'
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 20;
```
## Migration Patterns
### Safe Migration Rules
```
1. Never rename a column in one step (add new, migrate data, drop old)
2. Never drop a column that's still read by running code
3. Add columns as nullable or with defaults
4. Create indexes CONCURRENTLY to avoid locking
5. Test rollback before deploying
```
### Zero-Downtime Migration Example
```sql
-- Step 1: Add new column (safe, no lock)
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN display_name TEXT;
-- Step 2: Backfill data (do in batches)
UPDATE users SET display_name = name WHERE display_name IS NULL AND id BETWEEN 1 AND 10000;
-- Step 3: Deploy code that writes to BOTH columns
-- Step 4: Deploy code that reads from new column
-- Step 5: Drop old column (after confirming no reads)
ALTER TABLE users DROP COLUMN name;
```
### Index Creation
```sql
-- WRONG: Blocks writes on the table
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_user ON orders (user_id);
-- CORRECT: Non-blocking (PostgreSQL)
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_orders_user ON orders (user_id);
```
## Connection Pooling
```
Rule of thumb: connections = (CPU cores * 2) + disk spindles
For most apps: 10-20 connections per application instance
```
```python
# SQLAlchemy connection pool
engine = create_engine(
DATABASE_URL,
pool_size=10, # maintained connections
max_overflow=20, # extra connections under load
pool_timeout=30, # seconds to wait for connection
pool_recycle=1800, # recycle connections every 30 min
pool_pre_ping=True, # verify connection before use
)
```
```javascript
// Prisma datasource
// In schema.prisma:
// datasource db {
// provider = "postgresql"
// url = env("DATABASE_URL")
// }
// Connection limit via URL: ?connection_limit=10&pool_timeout=30
```
## ORM Best Practices
### Select Only What You Need
```python
# WRONG: Fetches all columns
users = db.query(User).all()
# CORRECT: Select specific columns
users = db.query(User.id, User.name).all()
```
```javascript
// WRONG: Fetches everything
const users = await prisma.user.findMany();
// CORRECT: Select specific fields
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
select: { id: true, name: true, email: true },
});
```
### Bulk Operations
```python
# WRONG: Individual inserts in a loop
for item in items:
db.add(Item(**item))
db.commit() # commit per item!
# CORRECT: Bulk insert
db.bulk_insert_mappings(Item, items)
db.commit()
```
```javascript
// WRONG: Sequential creates
for (const item of items) {
await prisma.item.create({ data: item });
}
// CORRECT: Batch create
await prisma.item.createMany({ data: items });
// CORRECT: Transaction for dependent operations
await prisma.$transaction([
prisma.user.create({ data: userData }),
prisma.profile.create({ data: profileData }),
]);
```
## NoSQL Design Patterns
### Document Database (MongoDB)
```javascript
// Design for access patterns, not normalization
// Embed when: 1:1, 1:few, data read together
// Reference when: 1:many, many:many, data grows unbounded
// WRONG: Normalizing in MongoDB like SQL
// users collection: { _id, name }
// addresses collection: { _id, userId, street } // requires joins
// CORRECT: Embed bounded, co-accessed data
{
_id: ObjectId("..."),
name: "Alice",
addresses: [
{ street: "123 Main St", city: "NYC", type: "home" },
{ street: "456 Work Ave", city: "NYC", type: "work" }
]
}
// CORRECT: Reference unbounded or independent data
// user: { _id, name, orderIds: [ObjectId("...")] }
// orders: { _id, userId, items: [...], total: 99.99 }
```
### Key-Value / Redis Patterns
```
# Cache-aside pattern
1. Check cache for key
2. If miss, query database
3. Store result in cache with TTL
4. Return result
# Cache invalidation
- TTL-based: SET key value EX 3600 (1 hour)
- Event-based: Delete key on write
- Write-through: Update cache on every write
```
