PostgreSQL Schema Architect FAQs

Question 1

Can this skill help with database performance tuning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it provides guidance on creating effective indexes for actual query paths, using EXPLAIN to validate access plans, and managing update-heavy tables to minimize MVCC bloat.

Question 2

Why does this skill prefer BIGINT over UUID for primary keys?

Accepted Answer

The skill prefers BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY for better performance and smaller storage footprints. UUIDs are recommended only when global uniqueness or opacity is required, such as in distributed systems.

Question 3

Does it support modern PostgreSQL features like JSONB?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It includes best practices for using JSONB for semi-structured data, including GIN indexing for efficient containment and existence queries.

Question 4

How does it handle time-series or high-volume data?

Accepted Answer

It provides instructions for declarative partitioning (Range, List, Hash) and suggests tools like TimescaleDB for automated partitioning and retention policies in high-volume environments.

Question 5

Does it enforce specific naming conventions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it enforces standard PostgreSQL snake_case conventions and warns against quoted or mixed-case identifiers to avoid common case-sensitivity errors.
