RUBY ❤️ POSTGRESQL RUBY ❤️ POSTGRESQL
PostgreSQL is more than a datastore
PostgreSQL is a relational database
PostgreSQL is webscale
PostgreSQL is webscale
PostgreSQL is open-source
PostgreSQL has a great community
PostgreSQL is mature!

⚡️POWER⚡️
• MODELS • QUERIES • SPEED What?
MODELS
have not integer primary keys. YOU CAN
UUID
run 'CREATE EXTENSION “uuid-ossp"' ! create_table(:users), id: :uuid do t.string
:name end ! User.create #=> #<User @values={:id=>”10e43f5f-713f-4efa- b225-11800777a322"}>
add “columns” without migrations. YOU CAN
HSTORE
add_column :users, :settings, :hstore ! class User < ActiveRecord::Base #
This exposes accessors. user.wants_push = false store_accessor :settings, :wants_push, :wants_mails, :auto_save store_accessor :avatars, :large, :medium, :small end
cache API results. YOU CAN
JSON
! add_column(:twitter_auth, :json_payload, :json) ! user.twitter_auth = Omniauth.fetch_auth(:twitter) ! user.twitter_auth[:nickname]
= ‘yann_ck’ user.twitter_auth[:nickname] #=> ‘yann_ck’
• UUID • HSTORE • JSON Recap
! ! QUERIES
have understandable hard queries. YOU CAN
AKA WITH clause CTE
def bad_users_with_karma User.find_by_sql(query, @karma_limit) end ! def query <<-SQL WITH
bad_users AS (SELECT * FROM users WHERE bad = true) SELECT * FROM bad_users WHERE karma > ? SQL end
have slow queries to fast read only models. YOU CAN
VIEWS MATERIALIZED
PSQL> CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW bad_users AS SELECT * FROM users
WHERE bad = false; ! class BadUser < User def readonly? true end end
search your models. YOU CAN
SEARCH FULL TEXT
# Using textacular ! User.basic_search(“yannick”) User.basic_search(name: “yan:*”) User.fuzzy_search(“yannick”) # uses
trigrams ! create index on users using gin(to_tsvector('english', name));
• CTE • Materialized Views • Full text search Recap
! ! SPEED
index more than one column. YOU CAN
INDEXES MULTICOLUMN
SELECT * FROM posts WHERE !banned AND poster_id = 6;
! SELECT * FROM posts WHERE banned; ! CREATE INDEX ON posts(banned, poster_id);
index only a part of your rows. YOU CAN
INDEXES PARTIAL
SELECT * FROM posts WHERE !banned AND poster_id = 6;
! CREATE INDEX ON poster_id WHERE !banned;
have transformations in you indexes. YOU CAN
INDEXES FUNCTIONAL
SELECT * FROM users WHERE lower(email) = ‘
[email protected]
’; ! CREATE
INDEX ON users(lower(email));
