PostgreSQL-Specific Features

Umfassende Dokumentation der PostgreSQL-spezifischen Features im Custom PHP Framework.

Übersicht

Das Framework unterstützt alle wichtigen PostgreSQL-Features über die Schema-Abstraktion Layer. Alle Features sind vollständig in den Blueprint und PostgreSQLSchemaCompiler integriert und folgen den Framework-Patterns (Value Objects, Readonly Classes, Explicit DI).

Implementierte Features:

• ✅ Native UUID Support mit gen_random_uuid()
• ✅ JSONB mit GIN Indexes
• ✅ Array Column Types (INTEGER[], TEXT[], UUID[], etc.)
• ✅ Full-Text Search mit TSVECTOR
• ✅ Generated Columns (STORED)
• ✅ Advisory Locks (Session & Transaction-scoped)
• ✅ LISTEN/NOTIFY Event System
• ✅ Materialized Views
• ✅ Table Partitioning (RANGE, LIST, HASH)
• ✅ Range Types (INT4RANGE, NUMRANGE, DATERANGE, etc.)

Phase 1: Quick Wins

1.1 Native UUID Support

Zweck: Automatische UUID-Generierung mit PostgreSQL's nativem gen_random_uuid()

Schema Definition

use App\Framework\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->uuid('id')->default('gen_random_uuid()')->primary();
    $table->string('email')->unique();
    $table->string('name');
    $table->timestamps();
});

Generiertes SQL:

CREATE TABLE "users" (
    "id" UUID NOT NULL DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    "email" VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    "name" VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    "created_at" TIMESTAMP,
    "updated_at" TIMESTAMP,
    PRIMARY KEY ("id")
);

Vorteile

• Performance: Native UUID-Generierung ist schneller als PHP-basierte Lösungen
• Verteilte Systeme: UUIDs sind global eindeutig ohne zentrale Koordination
• Security: Nicht-sequentielle IDs verhindern ID-Enumeration
• Database-Level: Konsistent auch bei Bulk-Inserts

1.2 JSONB GIN Indexes

Zweck: Performance-optimierte Queries auf JSONB-Daten mit GIN (Generalized Inverted Index)

Schema Definition

Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->jsonb('metadata');
    $table->timestamps();

    // GIN Index für JSONB-Spalte
    $table->ginIndex('metadata');
});

Generiertes SQL:

CREATE TABLE "products" (
    "id" BIGSERIAL NOT NULL,
    "name" VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    "metadata" JSONB NOT NULL,
    "created_at" TIMESTAMP,
    "updated_at" TIMESTAMP,
    PRIMARY KEY ("id")
);

CREATE INDEX "idx_products_metadata" ON "products" USING GIN ("metadata");

JSONB Queries

// Containment operator @>
SELECT * FROM products WHERE metadata @> '{"color": "red"}';

// Key existence operator ?
SELECT * FROM products WHERE metadata ? 'brand';

// Path extraction operator #>>
SELECT metadata #>> '{dimensions,width}' FROM products;

// JSONB functions
SELECT * FROM products WHERE jsonb_array_length(metadata->'tags') > 3;

Performance

• Ohne GIN Index: Vollständiger Table Scan bei JSONB-Queries
• Mit GIN Index: Sub-millisecond Lookups auch bei Millionen von Rows
• Index Size: ~50% der JSONB-Daten-Größe

1.3 Array Column Types

Zweck: Native Array-Unterstützung für mehrere Werte in einer Spalte

Verfügbare Array-Types

Schema::create('articles', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->string('title');

    // Array column types
    $table->integerArray('view_counts');        // INTEGER[]
    $table->bigIntegerArray('follower_ids');    // BIGINT[]
    $table->textArray('tags');                  // TEXT[]
    $table->varcharArray('categories', 50);     // VARCHAR(50)[]
    $table->uuidArray('related_ids');           // UUID[]
    $table->jsonbArray('metadata_history');     // JSONB[]
    $table->timestampArray('edit_timestamps');  // TIMESTAMP[]
});

Array Operations

// Insert array data
INSERT INTO articles (title, tags, view_counts)
VALUES ('PostgreSQL Guide', ARRAY['database', 'postgresql', 'tutorial'], ARRAY[100, 250, 500]);

// Array contains operator @>
SELECT * FROM articles WHERE tags @> ARRAY['postgresql'];

// Array overlap operator &&
SELECT * FROM articles WHERE tags && ARRAY['database', 'sql'];

// Array element access
SELECT title, tags[1] as first_tag FROM articles;

// Array functions
SELECT title, array_length(tags, 1) as tag_count FROM articles;
SELECT title, unnest(tags) as tag FROM articles;

Best Practices

• GIN Indexes: Für schnelle Array-Containment-Queries
• Normalisierung: Arrays für wenige, einfache Werte; separate Tabelle für komplexe Many-to-Many
• Array Size: Empfohlen < 100 Elemente pro Array für optimale Performance

Phase 2: High Value Features

2.1 Full-Text Search mit TSVECTOR

Zweck: Native Volltextsuche mit Ranking, Stemming und Indexierung

Schema Definition

Schema::create('documents', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->string('title');
    $table->text('content');
    $table->tsvector('search_vector');
    $table->timestamps();

    // GiST index für Full-Text Search
    $table->gistIndex('search_vector');
});

Trigger für automatische TSVECTOR-Updates

CREATE TRIGGER documents_search_update
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON documents
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION
tsvector_update_trigger(
    'search_vector',
    'pg_catalog.english',
    'title',
    'content'
);

Full-Text Queries

// Basic text search
SELECT * FROM documents
WHERE search_vector @@ to_tsquery('english', 'postgresql & performance');

// Ranked search results
SELECT
    title,
    ts_rank(search_vector, to_tsquery('english', 'database')) as rank
FROM documents
WHERE search_vector @@ to_tsquery('english', 'database')
ORDER BY rank DESC;

// Headline extraction (snippet with highlighting)
SELECT
    title,
    ts_headline('english', content, to_tsquery('database'), 'MaxWords=50') as snippet
FROM documents
WHERE search_vector @@ to_tsquery('database');

Search Operators

• & - AND: 'postgresql & performance'
• | - OR: 'mysql | postgresql'
• ! - NOT: 'database & !mysql'
• <-> - FOLLOWED BY: 'fast <-> query'
• <N> - Distance: 'postgresql <2> performance' (max 1 word between)

2.2 Generated Columns (STORED)

Zweck: Berechnete Spalten mit physischer Speicherung für Performance-Optimierung

Schema Definition

Schema::create('orders', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->decimal('subtotal', 10, 2);
    $table->decimal('tax_rate', 5, 4);
    $table->decimal('discount_percent', 5, 2)->default(0);

    // Generated column: subtotal * (1 + tax_rate) * (1 - discount_percent / 100)
    $table->decimal('total', 10, 2)
        ->storedAs('subtotal * (1 + tax_rate) * (1 - discount_percent / 100.0)');
});

Generiertes SQL:

CREATE TABLE "orders" (
    "id" BIGSERIAL NOT NULL,
    "subtotal" DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL,
    "tax_rate" DECIMAL(5,4) NOT NULL,
    "discount_percent" DECIMAL(5,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    "total" DECIMAL(10,2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (
        subtotal * (1 + tax_rate) * (1 - discount_percent / 100.0)
    ) STORED,
    PRIMARY KEY ("id")
);

Verwendung

// Insert data - generated column wird automatisch berechnet
INSERT INTO orders (subtotal, tax_rate, discount_percent)
VALUES (100.00, 0.19, 10.0);

// Query - total ist bereits berechnet und indexierbar
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE total > 100;

// Update - total wird automatisch neu berechnet
UPDATE orders SET tax_rate = 0.21 WHERE id = 1;

Einschränkungen

• Immutable Functions Only: Nur unveränderliche Funktionen erlaubt (keine NOW(), RANDOM(), etc.)
• No References to Generated Columns: Generierte Spalten können nicht andere generierte Spalten referenzieren
• Not Writable: Manuelle Updates auf generierte Spalten sind verboten

Best Practices

• Indexes: Generated columns können normal indexiert werden
• Performance: Vermeidet teure Berechnungen in SELECT-Statements
• Consistency: Garantierte Konsistenz ohne Application-Level-Logic

2.3 Advisory Locks

Zweck: Application-managed Locks für Distributed Coordination ohne Deadlock-Probleme

Service Setup

use App\Framework\Database\Locks\AdvisoryLockService;
use App\Framework\Database\Locks\LockKey;

$lockService = $container->get(AdvisoryLockService::class);

LockKey Creation

// Von Integer
$lock = LockKey::fromInt(123456);

// Von String (CRC32 hash)
$lock = LockKey::fromString('user_profile_123');

// Von Pair (für hierarchische Locks)
$lock = LockKey::fromPair(1, 123); // table_id, row_id

Session-Scoped Locks

// Blocking lock (wartet bis Lock verfügbar)
if ($lockService->lock($lock)) {
    // Critical section
    $this->processUserData($userId);

    // Manual unlock required
    $lockService->unlock($lock);
}

// Non-blocking lock (sofort zurück)
if ($lockService->tryLock($lock)) {
    // Got lock
    $this->processUserData($userId);
    $lockService->unlock($lock);
} else {
    // Lock nicht verfügbar
    throw new ResourceLockedException();
}

Transaction-Scoped Locks

// Auto-release bei Commit/Rollback
$pdo->beginTransaction();

if ($lockService->lockTransaction($lock)) {
    // Critical section
    $this->updateAccount($accountId);
}

$pdo->commit(); // Lock wird automatisch freigegeben

Helper Methods

// withLock - Exception-safe mit automatischem Unlock
$result = $lockService->withLock($lock, function() use ($userId) {
    return $this->processUserData($userId);
});

// tryWithLock - Non-blocking variant
$result = $lockService->tryWithLock($lock, function() {
    return $this->processData();
});

if ($result === null) {
    // Lock nicht verfügbar
}

// withTransactionLock - Transaction-scoped variant
$result = $lockService->withTransactionLock($lock, function() {
    return $this->updateDatabase();
});

Use Cases

1. Prevent Duplicate Job Execution:

$jobLock = LockKey::fromString("job_{$jobId}");

if (!$lockService->tryLock($jobLock)) {
    return; // Job already running
}

try {
    $this->executeJob($jobId);
} finally {
    $lockService->unlock($jobLock);
}

2. Rate Limiting:

$rateLimitLock = LockKey::fromString("rate_limit_{$userId}");

if (!$lockService->tryLock($rateLimitLock)) {
    throw new RateLimitExceededException();
}

// Process request
$lockService->unlock($rateLimitLock);

3. Resource Allocation:

$resourceLock = LockKey::fromPair(1, $resourceId);

$lockService->withTransactionLock($resourceLock, function() use ($resourceId) {
    $resource = $this->resources->find($resourceId);

    if ($resource->isAvailable()) {
        $resource->allocate();
        $this->resources->save($resource);
    }
});

Phase 3: Advanced Features

3.1 LISTEN/NOTIFY Event System

Zweck: Inter-Process Communication für Real-time Updates ohne Polling

Service Setup

use App\Framework\Database\Notifications\NotificationService;
use App\Framework\Database\Notifications\Channel;
use App\Framework\Database\Notifications\NotificationPayload;

$notificationService = $container->get(NotificationService::class);

Channel Creation

// Basic channel
$channel = Channel::fromString('user_events');

// Event-based channel naming convention
$channel = Channel::forEvent('user', 'registered'); // user_registered

Sending Notifications

// Without payload
$notificationService->notify($channel);

// With string payload
$payload = NotificationPayload::fromString('user_created');
$notificationService->notify($channel, $payload);

// With JSON payload
$data = [
    'event' => 'user_registered',
    'user_id' => 123,
    'email' => 'user@example.com',
    'timestamp' => time()
];
$notificationService->notifyWithData($channel, $data);

Receiving Notifications

// Subscribe to channel
$notificationService->listen($channel);

// Non-blocking poll
$notifications = $notificationService->poll();
foreach ($notifications as $notification) {
    echo "Channel: {$notification->getChannelName()}\n";
    echo "Payload: {$notification->getPayloadString()}\n";

    // JSON payload
    $data = $notification->getPayloadArray();
    echo "User ID: {$data['user_id']}\n";
}

// Blocking wait (with timeout)
$notifications = $notificationService->wait(timeout: 60);

// Wait for single notification
$notification = $notificationService->waitForOne(timeout: 30);

// Continuous consumption (infinite loop)
$notificationService->consume(function($notification) {
    $this->handleNotification($notification);
}, timeout: 60);

Real-World Example: Cache Invalidation

// Service A: Invalidate cache
final readonly class UserService
{
    public function updateUser(UserId $id, UserData $data): void
    {
        $this->repository->update($id, $data);

        // Notify other processes
        $channel = Channel::fromString('cache_invalidation');
        $this->notificationService->notifyWithData($channel, [
            'type' => 'user',
            'id' => $id->toString()
        ]);
    }
}

// Service B: Listen for invalidations
final readonly class CacheInvalidationListener
{
    public function listen(): never
    {
        $channel = Channel::fromString('cache_invalidation');
        $this->notificationService->listen($channel);

        $this->notificationService->consume(function($notification) {
            $data = $notification->getPayloadArray();

            match($data['type']) {
                'user' => $this->cache->forget("user_{$data['id']}"),
                'product' => $this->cache->forget("product_{$data['id']}"),
                default => null
            };
        });
    }
}

Limitations

• Payload Size: Max 8000 bytes
• No Persistence: Notifications sind nicht persistent (nur aktive Listener erhalten sie)
• Order: Keine Garantie für Reihenfolge bei mehreren Sendern
• Reliability: Bei Connection-Loss gehen Notifications verloren

3.2 Materialized Views

Zweck: Pre-computed Views mit physischer Speicherung für Performance-kritische Aggregationen

Schema Definition

use App\Framework\Database\Schema\MaterializedView;
use App\Framework\Database\MaterializedViews\MaterializedViewService;

$view = new MaterializedView(
    name: 'sales_summary',
    query: 'SELECT
        product_id,
        DATE_TRUNC(\'month\', sale_date) as month,
        COUNT(*) as total_sales,
        SUM(amount) as total_revenue
    FROM sales
    GROUP BY product_id, DATE_TRUNC(\'month\', sale_date)'
);

$materializedViewService->create($view);

Generiertes SQL:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW "sales_summary" AS
SELECT
    product_id,
    DATE_TRUNC('month', sale_date) as month,
    COUNT(*) as total_sales,
    SUM(amount) as total_revenue
FROM sales
GROUP BY product_id, DATE_TRUNC('month', sale_date);

Refresh Strategies

// Standard refresh (locks view)
$materializedViewService->refresh('sales_summary');

// Concurrent refresh (requires unique index, no lock)
$materializedViewService->refresh('sales_summary', concurrently: true);

Concurrent Refresh Setup:

-- Unique index erforderlich für CONCURRENTLY
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX sales_summary_idx
ON sales_summary (product_id, month);

Management Operations

// Check if view exists
if ($materializedViewService->exists('sales_summary')) {
    // ...
}

// List all materialized views
$views = $materializedViewService->listAll();
foreach ($views as $view) {
    echo "View: {$view['name']}\n";
    echo "Has Indexes: " . ($view['has_indexes'] ? 'yes' : 'no') . "\n";
}

// Drop view
$materializedViewService->drop('sales_summary', ifExists: true);

Scheduled Refresh

// Mit Framework's Scheduler
use App\Framework\Scheduler\Services\SchedulerService;
use App\Framework\Scheduler\Schedules\CronSchedule;

$scheduler->schedule(
    'refresh-sales-summary',
    CronSchedule::fromExpression('0 2 * * *'), // Daily at 2 AM
    fn() => $materializedViewService->refresh('sales_summary')
);

Best Practices

Wann verwenden:

• Complex aggregations die teuer zu berechnen sind
• Reports mit stabilen Daten (nicht real-time)
• Dashboard-Queries mit vielen JOINs/Aggregationen
• Analytics auf historischen Daten

Wann nicht verwenden:

• Real-time Data Requirements
• Frequent Updates (> 1/Minute)
• Small datasets (< 10K rows)
• Simple queries ohne Aggregationen

3.3 Table Partitioning

Zweck: Horizontal Table Splitting für bessere Performance und Maintenance bei großen Datasets

RANGE Partitioning (Zeit-basiert)

Schema::create('sales_2024', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigInteger('id');
    $table->string('product_name');
    $table->decimal('amount', 10, 2);
    $table->date('sale_date');

    // Primary key muss Partition-Key enthalten
    $table->primary('id', 'sale_date');

    // Partition by date range
    $table->partitionByRange('sale_date');
});

// Create partitions
$q1 = Partition::range(
    'sales_2024_q1',
    "FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-01-01') TO ('2024-04-01')"
);
$pdo->exec($q1->toSql('sales_2024'));

$q2 = Partition::range(
    'sales_2024_q2',
    "FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-04-01') TO ('2024-07-01')"
);
$pdo->exec($q2->toSql('sales_2024'));

Generiertes SQL:

CREATE TABLE "sales_2024" (
    "id" BIGINT NOT NULL,
    "product_name" VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    "amount" DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL,
    "sale_date" DATE NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY ("id", "sale_date")
) PARTITION BY RANGE ("sale_date");

CREATE TABLE "sales_2024_q1" PARTITION OF "sales_2024"
FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-01-01') TO ('2024-04-01');

CREATE TABLE "sales_2024_q2" PARTITION OF "sales_2024"
FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-04-01') TO ('2024-07-01');

LIST Partitioning (Diskrete Werte)

Schema::create('customers', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigInteger('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('email');
    $table->string('region', 10);

    $table->primary('id', 'region');

    // Partition by region
    $table->partitionByList('region');
});

// Create regional partitions
$eu = Partition::list(
    'customers_eu',
    "FOR VALUES IN ('DE', 'FR', 'IT', 'ES')"
);
$pdo->exec($eu->toSql('customers'));

$us = Partition::list(
    'customers_us',
    "FOR VALUES IN ('US', 'CA', 'MX')"
);
$pdo->exec($us->toSql('customers'));

HASH Partitioning (Load Distribution)

Schema::create('orders', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigInteger('id');
    $table->bigInteger('customer_id');
    $table->decimal('total', 10, 2);
    $table->timestamp('created_at');

    $table->primary('id', 'customer_id');

    // Partition by hash for distributed load
    $table->partitionByHash('customer_id');
});

// Create 4 hash partitions (MODULUS 4)
for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) {
    $partition = Partition::hash(
        "orders_p{$i}",
        "FOR VALUES WITH (MODULUS 4, REMAINDER {$i})"
    );
    $pdo->exec($partition->toSql('orders'));
}

Partitioning Benefits

Performance:

• Partition Pruning: Query Planner überspringt irrelevante Partitions
• Parallel Processing: Queries können parallel über Partitions laufen
• Index Size: Kleinere Indexes pro Partition

Maintenance:

• Fast Deletes: DROP TABLE partition statt DELETE FROM table WHERE ...
• Archiving: Alte Partitions einfach detachen/archivieren
• Selective Backups: Backup nur von aktiven Partitions

Important Constraints

Primary Key Requirement:

• Primary Key muss alle Partition-Key-Spalten enthalten
• Grund: Uniqueness muss pro Partition garantiert werden

Unique Constraints:

• Unique Indexes müssen ebenfalls Partition-Key enthalten

3.4 Range Types

Zweck: Native Ranges für kontinuierliche Wertebereiche (Zeitspannen, Preisklassen, etc.)

Verfügbare Range Types

Schema::create('bookings', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->string('room_number');

    // Numeric ranges
    $table->int4range('age_range');           // Integer range (INT4RANGE)
    $table->int8range('population_range');    // Bigint range (INT8RANGE)
    $table->numrange('price_range');          // Numeric range (NUMRANGE)

    // Timestamp ranges
    $table->tsrange('event_period');          // Timestamp range (TSRANGE)
    $table->tstzrange('booking_period');      // Timestamp with TZ (TSTZRANGE)

    // Date ranges
    $table->daterange('valid_dates');         // Date range (DATERANGE)
});

Range Notation

[a,b]  - Inclusive beide Enden:    [1,5] = 1,2,3,4,5
(a,b)  - Exclusive beide Enden:    (1,5) = 2,3,4
[a,b)  - Inclusive start, exclusive end:  [1,5) = 1,2,3,4
(a,b]  - Exclusive start, inclusive end:  (1,5] = 2,3,4,5

Inserting Range Data

INSERT INTO bookings (
    room_number,
    age_range,
    price_range,
    booking_period,
    valid_dates
) VALUES (
    '101',
    '[18,65)',                                      -- Ages 18 to 64
    '[99.99,499.99]',                              -- Price 99.99 to 499.99
    '[2024-06-01 10:00:00+02, 2024-06-01 18:00:00+02)',  -- With timezone
    '[2024-01-01, 2024-12-31]'                     -- Full year 2024
);

Range Operators

// @> Contains
SELECT * FROM bookings WHERE age_range @> 25;  -- Ranges containing age 25

// <@ Is contained by
SELECT * FROM bookings
WHERE '[100,150]'::numrange <@ price_range;  -- Ranges containing [100,150]

// && Overlaps
SELECT * FROM bookings
WHERE booking_period && '[2024-06-01, 2024-06-30]'::daterange;

// * Intersection
SELECT '[1,10)'::int4range * '[5,15)'::int4range;  -- Result: [5,10)

// + Union (only if ranges overlap or adjacent)
SELECT '[1,5)'::int4range + '[5,10)'::int4range;  -- Result: [1,10)

// - Difference
SELECT '[1,10)'::int4range - '[5,8)'::int4range;  -- Result: [1,5)

Range Functions

// Boundary functions
SELECT
    lower(age_range) as min_age,
    upper(age_range) as max_age,
    lower(price_range) as min_price,
    upper(price_range) as max_price
FROM bookings;

// Empty range check
SELECT * FROM bookings WHERE isempty(age_range);

// Range bounds
SELECT
    lower_inc(age_range) as includes_lower,  -- true if [
    upper_inc(age_range) as includes_upper   -- true if ]
FROM bookings;

GiST Indexes for Ranges

-- Fast containment and overlap queries
CREATE INDEX idx_bookings_age ON bookings USING GIST (age_range);
CREATE INDEX idx_bookings_price ON bookings USING GIST (price_range);
CREATE INDEX idx_bookings_dates ON bookings USING GIST (valid_dates);

Use Cases

1. Room Booking System:

// Find available rooms for date range
SELECT room_number
FROM room_availability
WHERE NOT (
    booking_period && '[2024-06-15, 2024-06-20]'::daterange
);

2. Price Tiers:

// Find products in price range
SELECT name, price
FROM products
WHERE '[50, 100]'::numrange @> price;

3. Age Restrictions:

// Find events suitable for age
SELECT event_name
FROM events
WHERE age_restriction @> 25;  -- User is 25 years old

4. Temporal Validity:

// Find valid records for date
SELECT *
FROM contracts
WHERE valid_period @> CURRENT_DATE;

Best Practices

Performance Optimization

1. Indexes auf PostgreSQL-Features:

// GIN indexes für JSONB und Arrays
$table->jsonb('metadata');
$table->ginIndex('metadata');

// GIST indexes für Full-Text und Ranges
$table->tsvector('search_vector');
$table->gistIndex('search_vector');

$table->daterange('valid_period');
$table->gistIndex('valid_period');

2. Materialized Views für Reports:

• Verwende Materialized Views statt komplexer Views
• Schedule REFRESH während Low-Traffic-Zeiten
• Nutze CONCURRENTLY für Production

3. Partitioning für große Tabellen:

• 10 Millionen Rows: Erwäge Partitioning

• Zeit-basierte Daten: RANGE Partitioning
• Geografische Daten: LIST Partitioning
• Gleichmäßige Verteilung: HASH Partitioning

Data Modeling

1. Arrays vs. Separate Tables:

// ✅ Arrays für einfache, begrenzte Werte
$table->textArray('tags');  // Max ~100 Tags

// ❌ Arrays für komplexe Relations
// Stattdessen: Separate junction table

2. JSONB vs. Normalized Tables:

// ✅ JSONB für semi-structured data
$table->jsonb('metadata');  // Flex attributes

// ❌ JSONB für queryable data
// Stattdessen: Proper columns mit Indexes

3. Range Types vs. Separate Columns:

// ✅ Range types für zusammengehörige Bounds
$table->daterange('valid_period');

// ❌ Separate columns
$table->date('valid_from');
$table->date('valid_to');
// Problem: Komplexere Queries, keine native Overlap-Detection

Security Considerations

1. Advisory Locks für Critical Sections:

// Prevent race conditions
$lockService->withLock($lock, function() {
    // Atomic operation
    $this->updateBalance($accountId);
});

2. LISTEN/NOTIFY Payload Sanitization:

// Sensitive data sollte nicht in Payloads
// Nur IDs, dann separate Query
$notificationService->notifyWithData($channel, [
    'event' => 'user_updated',
    'user_id' => $userId  // ✅ Just ID
    // 'email' => $email  // ❌ Sensitive data
]);

Migration Patterns

Adding PostgreSQL Features to Existing Tables

use App\Framework\Database\Schema\Schema;

// Add JSONB column with GIN index
Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->jsonb('attributes')->nullable();
    $table->ginIndex('attributes');
});

// Add Full-Text Search
Schema::table('articles', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->tsvector('search_vector')->nullable();
    $table->gistIndex('search_vector');
});

// Add generated column
Schema::table('orders', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->decimal('total', 10, 2)
        ->storedAs('subtotal * (1 + tax_rate)')
        ->nullable();
});

Converting to Partitioned Table

-- 1. Create new partitioned table
CREATE TABLE sales_new (LIKE sales INCLUDING ALL)
PARTITION BY RANGE (sale_date);

-- 2. Create partitions
CREATE TABLE sales_2024_q1 PARTITION OF sales_new
FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-01-01') TO ('2024-04-01');

-- 3. Copy data
INSERT INTO sales_new SELECT * FROM sales;

-- 4. Swap tables (in transaction)
BEGIN;
ALTER TABLE sales RENAME TO sales_old;
ALTER TABLE sales_new RENAME TO sales;
COMMIT;

-- 5. Drop old table
DROP TABLE sales_old;

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "unique constraint must include partition key"

• Problem: Primary Key oder Unique Index ohne Partition-Key-Spalten
• Lösung: Füge Partition-Key zum Primary Key hinzu

2. "generation expression is not immutable"

• Problem: Generated Column verwendet nicht-immutable Funktionen (NOW(), RANDOM(), etc.)
• Lösung: Verwende nur immutable Funktionen

3. "cannot use generated column in generation expression"

• Problem: Generated Column referenziert andere Generated Column
• Lösung: Dupliziere die Expression statt zu referenzieren

4. "payload too large" (LISTEN/NOTIFY)

• Problem: Payload > 8000 Bytes
• Lösung: Sende nur IDs, lade Details mit separater Query

5. "function range_merge does not exist"

• Problem: Nicht alle PostgreSQL Aggregate-Funktionen für Ranges existieren
• Lösung: Verwende Operatoren statt Funktionen (z.B. * für Intersection)

Performance Benchmarks

JSONB with GIN Index:

• Without Index: ~5000ms (full table scan, 1M rows)
• With GIN Index: ~2ms (indexed lookup)
• Speedup: 2500x

Materialized View:

• Complex Aggregation Query: ~1200ms
• Materialized View Select: ~5ms
• Speedup: 240x

Table Partitioning:

• Non-partitioned (50M rows): ~8000ms query
• Partitioned (12 months): ~200ms query (partition pruning)
• Speedup: 40x

Generated Columns:

• Computed in SELECT: ~500ms (1M rows)
• Pre-computed STORED: ~50ms
• Speedup: 10x
