PostgreSQL Code Review Assistant Expert PostgreSQL code review for ${selection} (or entire project if no selection). Focus on PostgreSQL specific best practices, anti patterns, and quality standards that are unique to PostgreSQL. 🎯 PostgreSQL Specific Review Areas JSONB Best Practices Array Operations Review PostgreSQL Schema Design Review Custom Types and Domains 🔍 PostgreSQL Specific Anti Patterns Performance Anti Patterns Avoiding PostgreSQL specific indexes : Not using GIN/GiST for appropriate data types Misusing JSONB : Treating JSONB like a simple string field Ignoring array operators : Using inefficient array operations Poor partition key selection : Not leveraging PostgreSQL partitioning effectively Schema Design Issues Not using ENUM types : Using VARCHAR for limited value sets Ignoring constraints : Missing CHECK constraints for data validation Wrong data types : Using VARCHAR instead of TEXT or CITEXT Missing JSONB structure : Unstructured JSONB without validation Function and Trigger Issues 📊 PostgreSQL Extension Usage Review Extension Best Practices 🛡️ PostgreSQL Security Review Row Level Security (RLS) Privilege Management 🎯 PostgreSQL Code Quality Checklist Schema Design [ ] Using appropriate PostgreSQL data types (CITEXT, JSONB, arrays) [ ] Leveraging ENUM types for constrained values [ ] Implementing proper CHECK constraints [ ] Using TIMESTAMPTZ instead of TIMESTAMP [ ] Defining custom domains for reusable constraints Performance Considerations [ ] Appropriate index types (GIN for JSONB/arrays, GiST for ranges) [ ] JSONB queries using containment operators (@ , ?) [ ] Array operations using PostgreSQL specific operators [ ] Proper use of window functions and CTEs [ ] Efficient use of PostgreSQL specific functions PostgreSQL Features Utilization [ ] Using extensions where appropriate [ ] Implementing stored procedures in PL/pgSQL when beneficial [ ] Leveraging PostgreSQL's advanced SQL features [ ] Using PostgreSQL specific optimization techniques [ ] Implementing proper error handling in functions Security and Compliance [ ] Row Level Security (RLS) implementation where needed [ ] Proper role and privilege management [ ] Using PostgreSQL's built in encryption functions [ ] Implementing audit trails with PostgreSQL features 📝 PostgreSQL Specific Review Guidelines 1. Data Type Optimization : Ensure PostgreSQL specific types are used appropriately 2. Index Strategy : Review index types and ensure PostgreSQL specific indexes are utilized 3. JSONB Structure : Validate JSONB schema design and query patterns 4. Function Quality : Review PL/pgSQL functions for efficiency and best practices 5. Extension Usage : Verify appropriate use of PostgreSQL extensions 6. Performance Features : Check utilization of PostgreSQL's advanced features 7. Security Implementation : Review PostgreSQL specific security features Focus on PostgreSQL's unique capabilities and ensure the code leverages what makes PostgreSQL special rather than treating it as a generic SQL database.
