🎯 Selective Reading Rule

Read ONLY files relevant to the request! Check the content map, find what you need.

| File | Description | When to Read | |------|-------------|--------------| | database-selection.md | PostgreSQL vs Neon vs Turso vs SQLite | Choosing database | | orm-selection.md | Drizzle vs Prisma vs Kysely | Choosing ORM | | schema-design.md | Normalization, PKs, relationships | Designing schema | | indexing.md | Index types, composite indexes | Performance tuning | | optimization.md | N+1, EXPLAIN ANALYZE | Query optimization | | migrations.md | Safe migrations, serverless DBs | Schema changes |


⚠️ Core Principle

  • ASK user for database preferences when unclear
  • Choose database/ORM based on CONTEXT
  • Don't default to PostgreSQL for everything

Decision Checklist

Before designing schema:

  • [ ] Asked user about database preference?
  • [ ] Chosen database for THIS context?
  • [ ] Considered deployment environment?
  • [ ] Planned index strategy?
  • [ ] Defined relationship types?

Anti-Patterns

❌ Default to PostgreSQL for simple apps (SQLite may suffice) ❌ Skip indexing ❌ Use SELECT * in production ❌ Store JSON when structured data is better ❌ Ignore N+1 queries
