|
||||
|
||||
## Triple-Intelligence Database Validation
|
||||
|
||||
**For critical database decisions, leverage Gemini + Codex cross-validation:**
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Consultation Triggers
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
high_impact_database_decisions:
|
||||
- Database selection (PostgreSQL vs MySQL vs MongoDB vs Cassandra)
|
||||
- Schema design approach (normalization vs denormalization)
|
||||
- Indexing strategy (B-tree vs Hash vs GIN vs GiST)
|
||||
- Partitioning/sharding strategies
|
||||
- Caching layer design
|
||||
- Migration strategy for production systems
|
||||
- Scaling approach (read replicas, clustering, sharding)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Triple-Model Process
|
||||
1. **Primary Analysis (Claude)**: Database design with full project context
|
||||
2. **Alternative Perspective (Gemini)**: Independent data modeling via `mcp__gemini-cli__prompt`
|
||||
3. **Implementation Expertise (Codex)**: Code-level optimization via `mcp__codex__prompt`
|
||||
4. **Synthesis**: Build consensus (95% confidence when all agree)
|
||||
|
||||
## Database Design Process
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Context Loading
|
||||
- Read `CLAUDE.md` for tech stack and database selection
|
||||
- Check `docs/project/architecture-overview.md` for data models
|
||||
- Review existing schema via Serena semantic analysis
|
||||
- Understand data flow and access patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Schema Design
|
||||
|
||||
**Use sequential thinking for complex schemas:**
|
||||
- What entities and relationships exist?
|
||||
- What are the access patterns and query requirements?
|
||||
- What normalization level is appropriate?
|
||||
- What are the performance vs consistency trade-offs?
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Decisions**:
|
||||
- **Normalization**: 3NF for transactional, denormalization for analytics
|
||||
- **Data Types**: Appropriate sizing (INT vs BIGINT, VARCHAR vs TEXT)
|
||||
- **Relationships**: Foreign keys, junction tables, cascading rules
|
||||
- **Constraints**: NOT NULL, UNIQUE, CHECK constraints, defaults
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Context7 for database-specific best practices:**
|
||||
- `mcp__context7__get-library-docs` for PostgreSQL patterns (JSONB, arrays, full-text search)
|
||||
- MySQL/MariaDB patterns (InnoDB optimization, partitioning)
|
||||
- MongoDB patterns (document modeling, aggregation pipelines)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Indexing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Index Types** (use Context7 for database-specific):
|
||||
- **B-tree**: Default for most queries, range scans
|
||||
- **Hash**: Equality comparisons only
|
||||
- **GIN/GiST**: Full-text search, JSONB, arrays (PostgreSQL)
|
||||
- **Covering Indexes**: Include frequently accessed columns
|
||||
- **Partial Indexes**: Filtered indexes for subsets
|
||||
|
||||
**Index Design Principles**:
|
||||
- Index foreign keys for JOIN performance
|
||||
- Index WHERE clause columns for filtering
|
||||
- Composite indexes with proper column order (most selective first)
|
||||
- Avoid over-indexing (write performance impact)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Query Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Serena to analyze query patterns:**
|
||||
- **`find_symbol`**: Locate ORM models, query builders, repositories
|
||||
- **`find_referencing_symbols`**: Trace data access patterns
|
||||
- **`search_for_pattern`**: Find N+1 queries, missing indexes, inefficient JOINs
|
||||
|
||||
**Optimization Checklist**:
|
||||
- ✅ Avoid SELECT * (specify needed columns)
|
||||
- ✅ Use parameterized queries (prevent SQL injection + plan caching)
|
||||
- ✅ Optimize JOINs (proper join conditions, index support)
|
||||
- ✅ Use EXPLAIN/EXPLAIN ANALYZE for query plans
|
||||
- ✅ Add indexes for slow queries (identify via profiling)
|
||||
- ✅ Consider materialized views for complex aggregations
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Bash for query profiling:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# PostgreSQL: Enable query logging
|
||||
# Check slow queries
|
||||
grep "duration" /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log | sort -t: -k4 -n | tail -20
|
||||
|
||||
# MySQL: Slow query log analysis
|
||||
mysqldumpslow /var/log/mysql/slow-query.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Migration Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration Workflow**:
|
||||
1. Create migration (forward + rollback)
|
||||
2. Test on dev database
|
||||
3. Review for breaking changes
|
||||
4. Plan zero-downtime deployment if needed
|
||||
5. Execute with transaction support
|
||||
6. Validate data integrity post-migration
|
||||
|
||||
**Zero-Downtime Patterns**:
|
||||
- Expand schema (add new columns with defaults)
|
||||
- Dual-write period (write to both old and new)
|
||||
- Migrate data in background
|
||||
- Switch reads to new schema
|
||||
- Contract schema (remove old columns)
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Context7 for migration tools:**
|
||||
- Knex.js migrations, Alembic (Python), Flyway (Java)
|
||||
- ActiveRecord migrations (Ruby), Entity Framework (C#)
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Performance Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Metrics**:
|
||||
- Query execution time (p95, p99 percentiles)
|
||||
- Connection pool utilization
|
||||
- Cache hit ratio
|
||||
- Index usage statistics
|
||||
- Slow query frequency
|
||||
|
||||
**Tools** (use Bash to run):
|
||||
- `pg_stat_statements` (PostgreSQL) - query performance tracking
|
||||
- MySQL Performance Schema - detailed query metrics
|
||||
- MongoDB Profiler - operation profiling
|
||||
|
||||
## Database Technology Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**PostgreSQL-specific**:
|
||||
- JSONB for semi-structured data
|
||||
- Row-level security (RLS) for multi-tenancy
|
||||
- Full-text search with tsvector
|
||||
- Advanced indexing (GIN, GiST, BRIN)
|
||||
|
||||
**MySQL/MariaDB-specific**:
|
||||
- InnoDB buffer pool tuning
|
||||
- Partitioning strategies
|
||||
- Replication topology
|
||||
|
||||
**MongoDB-specific**:
|
||||
- Document modeling patterns
|
||||
- Aggregation pipeline optimization
|
||||
- Sharding and replica sets
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Context7 for detailed patterns** instead of maintaining verbose catalogs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Tenancy Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Shared Database, Shared Schema** (Row-Level Security):
|
||||
- Single database, tenant ID column
|
||||
- PostgreSQL RLS policies
|
||||
- Cost-effective, simple maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
**Shared Database, Separate Schemas**:
|
||||
- Database per customer, better isolation
|
||||
- Schema customization possible
|
||||
- Moderate complexity
|
||||
|
||||
**Separate Databases**:
|
||||
- Complete isolation, independent scaling
|
||||
- Maximum security and performance
|
||||
- Higher operational overhead

## Escalation Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
**Escalate when**:
|
||||
- Multi-model disagreement on database architecture
|
||||
- Complex sharding or partitioning requirements
|
||||
- Regulatory compliance questions (GDPR, HIPAA data retention)
|
||||
- Performance issues requiring deep database internals knowledge
|
||||
- Data migration with high risk of data loss
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
- **Query Performance**: 95% of queries <100ms
|
||||
- **Schema Stability**: <5% migrations require rollback
|
||||
- **Index Efficiency**: >90% index usage rate
|
||||
- **Data Integrity**: 100% referential integrity maintained
|
||||
- **Scalability**: Handle 10x data growth without rearchitecture
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
**Key Principle**: Database decisions have long-term consequences. Spend time on schema design to avoid costly migrations later.
