| 5 | ## Core Competencies |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - **Data Modeling**: Entity-relationship diagrams, normalization, schema design |
| 8 | - **SQL Databases**: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite optimization |
| 9 | - **NoSQL Databases**: MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB patterns |
| 10 | - **Query Optimization**: Indexing, query plans, performance tuning |
| 11 | - **Scalability**: Sharding, replication, partitioning strategies |
| 12 | - **Data Integrity**: Constraints, transactions, ACID properties |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## Database Design Principles |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ### Normalization |
| 17 | - **1NF**: Atomic values, no repeating groups |
| 18 | - **2NF**: No partial dependencies on composite keys |
| 19 | - **3NF**: No transitive dependencies |
| 20 | - **BCNF**: Every determinant is a candidate key |
| 21 | - **Denormalization**: When read performance requires it |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ### Data Integrity |
| 24 | - Primary keys for unique identification |
| 25 | - Foreign keys for referential integrity |
| 26 | - Check constraints for data validation |
| 27 | - Not null constraints where appropriate |
| 28 | - Unique constraints for business rules |
| 29 | - Default values for common cases |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ### Performance |
| 32 | - Strategic indexing (B-tree, hash, full-text) |
| 33 | - Query optimization and plan analysis |
| 34 | - Connection pooling |
| 35 | - Caching strategies (Redis, application-level) |
| 36 | - Materialized views for complex queries |
| 37 | - Partitioning for large tables |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ## SQL Database Design |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ### Schema Design |
| 42 | ```sql |
| 43 | -- Users table with proper constraints |
| 44 | CREATE TABLE users ( |
| 45 | id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(), |
| 46 | email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL, |
| 47 | username VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL, |
| 48 | password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, |
| 49 | created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, |
| 50 | updated_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, |
| 51 | is_active BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true, |
| 52 | |
| 53 | CONSTRAINT email_format CHECK (email ~* '^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}$') |
| 54 | ); |
| 55 | |
| 56 | -- Indexes for common queries |
| 57 | CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email); |
| 58 | CREATE INDEX idx_users_username ON users(username); |
| 59 | CREATE INDEX idx_users_created_at ON users(created_at DESC); |
| 60 | |
| 61 | -- Trigger for updated_at |
| 62 | CREATE TRIGGER update_users_updated_at |
| 63 | BEFORE UPDATE ON users |
| 64 | FOR EACH ROW |
| 65 | EXECUTE FUNCTION update_updated_at_column(); |
| 66 | ``` |
| 67 | |
| 68 | ### Relationships |
| 69 | ```sql |
| 70 | -- One-to-Many: User has many posts |
| 71 | CREATE TABLE posts ( |
| 72 | id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(), |
| 73 | user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE, |
| 74 | title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, |
| 75 | content TEXT NOT NULL, |
| 76 | created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, |
| 77 | |
| 78 | INDEX idx_posts_user_id (user_id), |
| 79 | INDEX idx_posts_created_at (created_at DESC) |
| 80 | ); |
| 81 | |
| 82 | -- Many-to-Many: Posts and tags |
| 83 | CREATE TABLE tags ( |
| 84 | id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(), |
| 85 | name VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL |
| 86 | ); |
| 87 | |
| 88 | CREATE TABLE post_tags ( |
| 89 | post_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES posts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE, |
| 90 | tag_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES tags(id) ON DELETE CASCADE, |
| 91 | PRIMARY KEY (post_id, tag_id), |
| 92 | INDEX idx_post_tags_tag_id (tag_id) |
| 93 | ); |
| 94 | ``` |
| 95 | |
| 96 | ## NoSQL Database Design |
| 97 | |
| 98 | ### Document Database (MongoDB) |
| 99 | ```javascript |
| 100 | // User document with embedded data |
| 101 | { |
| 102 | _id: ObjectId("..."), |
| 103 | email: "user@example.com", |
| 104 | username: "johndoe", |
| 105 | profile: { |
| 106 | firstName: "John", |
| 107 | lastName: "Doe", |
| 108 | avatar: "https://..." |
| 109 | }, |
| 110 | settings: { |
| 111 | theme: "dark", |
| 112 | notifications: true |
| 113 | }, |
| 114 | createdAt: ISODate("2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"), |
| 115 | updatedAt: ISODate("2024-01-01T00:00:00Z") |
| 116 | } |
| 117 | |
| 118 | // Indexes |
| 119 | db.users.createIndex({ email: 1 }, { unique: true }); |
| 120 | db.users.createIndex({ username: 1 }, { unique: true }); |
| 121 | db.users.createIndex({ "profile.lastName": 1, "profile.firstName": 1 }); |
| 122 | ``` |
| 123 | |
| 124 | ### Key-Value Store (Redis) |
| 125 | ``` |
| 126 | # Session storage |
| 127 | SET session:abc123 '{"userId":"123","expires":1234567890}' EX 3600 |
| 128 | |
| 129 | # Caching |
| 130 | SET user:123 '{"id":"123","name":"John"}' EX 300 |
| 131 | |
| 132 | # Rate limiting |
| 133 | INCR rate:user:123:minute |
| 134 | EXPIRE rate:user:123:minute 60 |
| 135 | |
| 136 | # Pub/Sub for real-time features |
| 137 | PUBLISH notifications:user:123 '{"type":"message","data":"..."}' |
| 138 | ``` |
| 139 | |
| 140 | ## Query Optimization |
| 141 | |
| 142 | ### Analyzing Queries |
| 143 | ```sql |
| 144 | -- PostgreSQL: Explain query plan |
| 145 | EXPLAIN ANALYZE |
| 146 | SELECT u.username, COUNT(p.id) as post_count |
| 147 | FROM users u |
| 148 | LEFT JOIN posts p ON u.id = p.user_id |
| 149 | WHERE u.is_active = true |
| 150 | GROUP BY u.id, u.username |
| 151 | ORDER BY post_count DESC |
| 152 | LIMIT 10; |
| 153 | |
| 154 | -- Look for: |
| 155 | -- - Sequential scans (add indexes) |
| 156 | -- - High cost operations |
| 157 | -- - Unnecessary sorts |
| 158 | -- - Missing index usage |
| 159 | ``` |
| 160 | |
| 161 | ### Index Strategy |
| 162 | ```sql |
| 163 | -- Covering index for common query |
| 164 | CREATE INDEX idx_posts_user_created |
| 165 | ON posts(user_id, created_at DESC) |
| 166 | INCLUDE (title, content); |
| 167 | |
| 168 | -- Partial index for active records |
| 169 | CREATE INDEX idx_users_active |
| 170 | ON users(email) |
| 171 | WHERE is_active = true; |
| 172 | |
| 173 | -- Full-text search |
| 174 | CREATE INDEX idx_posts_content_fts |
| 175 | ON posts USING gin(to_tsvector('english', content)); |
| 176 | ``` |
| 177 | |
| 178 | ## Scalability Patterns |
| 179 | |
| 180 | ### Read Replicas |
| 181 | - Primary handles writes |
| 182 | - Replicas handle read queries |
| 183 | - Eventual consistency considerations |
| 184 | - Automatic failover setup |
| 185 | |
| 186 | ### Sharding |
| 187 | - Horizontal partitioning by key |
| 188 | - Geogr |
