PostgreSQL Database Standards

**Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)**

Rules

  • Keep PostgreSQL choices driven by real read/write paths.
  • Use explicit migrations; never rely on `synchronize: true` in production.
  • Treat RLS, constraints, and indexes as first-class schema behavior; use `queryRunner.query()` when raw migration SQL is required.
  • Enable RLS explicitly in a migration (`ALTER TABLE <table> ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`) and create tenant policies before application rollout.
  • Put multi-step consistency inside one transaction boundary.

Verify

  • [ ] Destructive schema change uses expand -> backfill -> contract rollout.
  • [ ] Query shape has matching indexes for filter, join, and sort paths.
  • [ ] Pagination strategy is explicit.
  • [ ] Transaction boundary matches one business action.
  • [ ] RLS or tenant predicates are supported by indexes.

Anti-Patterns

  • **No N+1 queries**: Use query builders or eager-load relations instead of lazy-loading in loops.
  • **No heavy RLS joins**: Keep RLS predicates simple; move complex logic to query/view layer.
  • **No synchronize in production**: Always run explicit migrations; `synchronize: true` destructive.
  • **No blind index sprawl**: each index needs a query owner.
