# Data Management
## Workflows
- [ ] **Schema Design**: Define tables, relationships, constraints
- [ ] **Migrations**: Version control schema changes
- [ ] **Indexing**: Add indexes for query performance
- [ ] **Backup**: Ensure data recovery capability
## Schema Design Principles
### Normalization
- **1NF**: Atomic values, no repeating groups
- **2NF**: No partial dependencies
- **3NF**: No transitive dependencies
### When to Denormalize
- Read-heavy workloads
- Reporting/analytics
- Caching layers
## Migration Best Practices (Liquibase + PostgreSQL)
### Forward-Only Migrations
Each migration should be a single forward step.
```xml
<!-- src/main/resources/db/changelog/changes/001-create-users.xml -->
<databaseChangeLog>
<changeSet id="001-create-users" author="dev">
<createTable tableName="users">
<column name="id" type="BIGSERIAL">
<constraints primaryKey="true" nullable="false"/>
</column>
<column name="email" type="VARCHAR(255)">
<constraints nullable="false" unique="true"/>
</column>
<column name="created_at" type="TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE" defaultValueComputed="CURRENT_TIMESTAMP">
<constraints nullable="false"/>
</column>
</createTable>
<createIndex indexName="idx_users_email" tableName="users">
<column name="email"/>
</createIndex>
</changeSet>
</databaseChangeLog>
```
```yaml
# db/changelog/db.changelog-master.yaml
databaseChangeLog:
- include:
file: changes/001-create-users.xml
relativeToChangelogFile: true
```
```sql
-- Alternative: SQL format with Liquibase
-- liquibase formatted sql
-- changeset dev:001-create-users
CREATE TABLE users (
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
);
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);
-- rollback DROP TABLE users;
```
### Safe Migrations
- Add columns as nullable first
- Create indexes concurrently
- Never drop columns in the same deploy
## Indexing Strategy
```sql
-- B-tree (default): Equality and range queries
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);
-- Partial index: When you query a subset
CREATE INDEX idx_active_users ON users(id) WHERE active = true;
-- Composite index: Multiple columns
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_user_date ON orders(user_id, created_at DESC);
```
## Connection Management (HikariCP + Spring Boot)
```yaml
# application.yaml - HikariCP is default in Spring Boot
spring:
datasource:
url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/funnyapp
username: ${DB_USER}
password: ${DB_PASS}
hikari:
maximum-pool-size: 20 # Max connections
minimum-idle: 5 # Min idle connections
connection-timeout: 2000 # Max wait for connection (ms)
idle-timeout: 30000 # Close idle connections after (ms)
max-lifetime: 1800000 # Max connection lifetime (30 min)
pool-name: FunnyAppPool
leak-detection-threshold: 60000 # Detect connection leaks (1 min)
jpa:
hibernate:
ddl-auto: none # Use Liquibase instead
properties:
hibernate:
default_schema: public
format_sql: true
jdbc:
batch_size: 20
order_inserts: true
order_updates: true
liquibase:
change-log: classpath:db/changelog/db.changelog-master.yaml
enabled: true
```
```java
// JPA Entity with proper relationships
@Entity
@Table(name = "users", indexes = {
@Index(name = "idx_users_email", columnList = "email")
})
@Data
@Builder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class User {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@Column(nullable = false, unique = true)
private String email;
@Column(name = "created_at", nullable = false, updatable = false)
@Builder.Default
private Instant createdAt = Instant.now();
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "user", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
private List<Video> videos = new ArrayList<>();
}
// Repository with proper query optimization
@Repository
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
Optional<User> findByEmail(String email);
@Query("SELECT u FROM User u LEFT JOIN FETCH u.videos WHERE u.id = :id")
Optional<User> findByIdWithVideos(@Param("id") Long id);
@Query(value = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE created_at > :since ORDER BY created_at DESC",
nativeQuery = true)
List<User> findRecentUsers(@Param("since") Instant since);
}
```
## Data Integrity
- Use foreign key constraints
- Add NOT NULL where appropriate
- Use CHECK constraints for validation
- Consider using ENUM types for fixed values
