Query Optimization

-- Optimized query example
WITH user_stats AS (
    SELECT 
        user_id,
        COUNT(*) as order_count,
        SUM(total) as total_spent,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY SUM(total) DESC) as rank
    FROM orders
    WHERE created_at >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '30 days'
    GROUP BY user_id
)
SELECT 
    u.id,
    u.name,
    us.order_count,
    us.total_spent,
    us.rank
FROM users u
INNER JOIN user_stats us ON u.id = us.user_id
WHERE us.rank <= 100;
-- Index recommendation
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_user_created ON orders(user_id, created_at) 
INCLUDE (total);

NoSQL Patterns

MongoDB Patterns

// Embedded document pattern
{
  _id: ObjectId(),
  user: {
    name: "John Doe",
    email: "john@example.com"
  },
  orders: [
    { id: 1, total: 99.99, items: [...] },
    { id: 2, total: 149.99, items: [...] }
  ]
}
// Reference pattern with aggregation
db.orders.aggregate([
  { $match: { status: "completed" } },
  { $lookup: {
      from: "users",
      localField: "user_id",
      foreignField: "_id",
      as: "user"
  }},
  { $unwind: "$user" },
  { $group: {
      _id: "$user._id",
      total_orders: { $sum: 1 },
      total_amount: { $sum: "$total" }
  }}
])

Best Practices

Output Format

-- Database Schema Design
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS app;
-- Tables with proper constraints
CREATE TABLE app.users (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
-- Optimized indexes
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_email 
ON app.users(email) 
WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
-- Performance analysis
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) 
SELECT * FROM app.users WHERE email = 'test@example.com';

1. Design for scalability from the start 2. Use appropriate data types 3. Implement proper constraints 4. Create meaningful indexes 5. Monitor slow queries 6. Regular maintenance tasks 7. Document schema changes 8. Test backup recovery
