## Modern Patterns

### SQLAlchemy 2.0 Models
```python
from __future__ import annotations
from typing import Optional
from datetime import datetime
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column, relationship
from sqlalchemy import String, BigInteger, DateTime, Boolean, Integer, ForeignKey, Index, func
from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql import JSONB

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

class Guild(Base):
    __tablename__ = "guilds"

    guild_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(
        BigInteger,
        primary_key=True,
        comment="Discord guild ID"
    )
    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100))
    settings: Mapped[dict] = mapped_column(JSONB, server_default="{}")

    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(
        DateTime(timezone=True),
        server_default=func.now()
    )
    updated_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(
        DateTime(timezone=True),
        server_default=func.now(),
        onupdate=func.now()
    )

    members: Mapped[list["Member"]] = relationship(
        back_populates="guild",
        cascade="all, delete-orphan"
    )

    __table_args__ = (
        Index("idx_guilds_name", "name"),
    )

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"

    user_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(BigInteger, primary_key=True)
    username: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(32))
    is_bot: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, default=False)
    total_messages: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, default=0)

    first_seen: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(
        DateTime(timezone=True),
        server_default=func.now()
    )

    memberships: Mapped[list["Member"]] = relationship(back_populates="user")

class Member(Base):
    __tablename__ = "members"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
    guild_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(
        BigInteger,
        ForeignKey("guilds.guild_id", ondelete="CASCADE")
    )
    user_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(
        BigInteger,
        ForeignKey("users.user_id", ondelete="CASCADE")
    )

    experience: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, default=0)
    level: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, default=1)

    joined_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(
        DateTime(timezone=True),
        server_default=func.now()
    )

    guild: Mapped["Guild"] = relationship(back_populates="members")
    user: Mapped["User"] = relationship(back_populates="memberships")

    __table_args__ = (
        Index("idx_members_guild", "guild_id"),
        Index("idx_members_exp", "guild_id", "experience"),
    )
```

### Database Manager
```python
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine, AsyncSession, async_sessionmaker

class DatabaseManager:
    def __init__(self, database_url: str) -> None:
        self.engine = create_async_engine(
            database_url,
            echo=False,
            pool_size=20,
            max_overflow=10,
            pool_pre_ping=True
        )

        self.session_factory = async_sessionmaker(
            self.engine,
            class_=AsyncSession,
            expire_on_commit=False
        )

    async def create_tables(self) -> None:
        async with self.engine.begin() as conn:
            await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)

    async def close(self) -> None:
        await self.engine.dispose()

    def get_session(self) -> AsyncSession:
        return self.session_factory()
```

### Complex Queries (SQLAlchemy)
```python
from sqlalchemy import select, update, func, and_, or_

async def get_leaderboard(
    session: AsyncSession,
    guild_id: int,
    page: int = 1,
    per_page: int = 10
):
    """Get paginated leaderboard."""
    count_stmt = select(func.count()).select_from(Member).where(
        Member.guild_id == guild_id
    )
    total = await session.scalar(count_stmt)

    offset = (page - 1) * per_page
    data_stmt = (
        select(Member)
        .where(Member.guild_id == guild_id)
        .order_by(Member.experience.desc())
        .offset(offset)
        .limit(per_page)
    )
    result = await session.execute(data_stmt)
    members = result.scalars().all()

    return members, total
```

### High-Performance Queries (asyncpg)
```python
import asyncpg

async def create_pool(database_url: str) -> asyncpg.Pool:
    return await asyncpg.create_pool(
        database_url,
        min_size=10,
        max_size=50,
        command_timeout=60
    )

async def bulk_upsert_users(pool: asyncpg.Pool, users_data: list[dict]):
    """Bulk upsert users with ON CONFLICT."""
    async with pool.acquire() as conn:
        await conn.executemany(
            """
            INSERT INTO users (user_id, username, is_bot)
            VALUES ($1, $2, $3)
            ON CONFLICT (user_id) DO UPDATE SET
                username = EXCLUDED.username
            """,
            [(u['user_id'], u['username'], u.get('is_bot', False))
             for u in users_data]
        )

async def get_user_ranking(pool: asyncpg.Pool, guild_id: int, user_id: int):
    """Get user's rank using window functions."""
    async with pool.acquire() as conn:
        row = await conn.fetchrow(
            """
            WITH ranked_members AS (
                SELECT
                    user_id,
                    experience,
                    level,
                    RANK() OVER (ORDER BY experience DESC) as rank,
                    COUNT(*) OVER () as total_members
                FROM members
                WHERE guild_id = $1
            )
            SELECT * FROM ranked_members WHERE user_id = $2
            """,
            guild_id,
            user_id
        )
        return dict(row) if row else None
```

### Alembic Migrations
```bash
# Create migration
alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Add user table"

# Apply migration
alembic upgrade head

# Rollback
alembic downgrade -1
```

### Transactions
```python
async def transfer_experience(
    session: AsyncSession,
    from_member_id: int,
    to_member_id: int,
    amount: int
) -> bool:
    """Transfer experience atomically."""
    try:
        async with session.begin_nested():
            stmt1 = (
                update(Member)
                .where(
                    and_(
                        Member.id == from_member_id,
                        Member.experience >= amount
                    )
                )
                .values(experience=Member.experience - amount)
            )
            result = await session.execute(stmt1)

            if result.rowcount == 0:
                return False

            stmt2 = (
                update(Member)
                .where(Member.id == to_member_id)
                .values(experience=Member.experience + amount)
            )
            await session.execute(stmt2)

        await session.commit()
        return True

    except Exception:
        await session.rollback()
        raise
```

### Indexing Strategies
```sql
-- Composite index for common queries
CREATE INDEX idx_members_guild_exp ON members (guild_id, experience DESC);

-- Partial index for active members only
CREATE INDEX idx_members_active ON members (guild_id)
WHERE left_at IS NULL;

-- GIN index for JSONB queries
CREATE INDEX idx_guilds_settings ON guilds USING GIN (settings);

-- Full-text search index
CREATE INDEX idx_messages_fts ON messages
USING GIN (to_tsvector('english', content));
```

## Key Reminders

1. **Use BigInteger for Discord IDs** - Snowflakes are 64-bit
2. **Always use timezone-aware datetime** - `DateTime(timezone=True)`
3. **Include created_at/updated_at** timestamps
4. **Use proper foreign key constraints** with CASCADE
5. **Design indexes for query patterns** - Check EXPLAIN ANALYZE
6. **Use JSONB, not JSON** - Better performance
7. **Handle connection pooling** - Don't exhaust connections
8. **Use transactions for multi-step operations**
9. **Close sessions after use**
10. **Never store secrets in database** - Use environment variables

Provide production-ready code with proper error handling, type hints, indexing, and modern async patterns following 2025 PostgreSQL best practices.
