This category is dedicated to discussions about PostgreSQL, a powerful, open-source relational database system. Whether you’re optimizing queries, designing schemas, or troubleshooting performance, this is the place for PostgreSQL developers and enthusiasts to collaborate.
What to Post Here
- Questions about PostgreSQL basics (e.g., installation, configuration, or connecting to a database).
- Discussions on query optimization, indexing, and performance tuning.
- Topics related to schema design and database normalization.
- Guidance on using PostgreSQL features like JSONB, window functions, or stored procedures.
- Questions about integrating PostgreSQL with applications and ORMs (e.g., Sequelize, SQLAlchemy, or Django ORM).
What NOT to Post Here
- General database questions unrelated to PostgreSQL (these may belong in the “Others” database category).
- Questions about specific ORMs or application frameworks unless directly tied to PostgreSQL.
- Vague or overly broad questions without examples, context, or relevant details.
- Job postings, promotions, or off-topic discussions.
Guidelines
- Be Specific: Include your PostgreSQL version, error messages, and relevant SQL or configuration files.
- Use Tags: Add tags like
psql-indexing,psql-jsonb,psql-performance,psql, orpsql-schema-designto categorize your post effectively. - Reference Resources: Link to the official PostgreSQL documentation or other trusted sources when applicable.
Examples
- Good Post: “How can I optimize a query that uses multiple JOINs on a table with millions of rows? [SQL query included]”
- Bad Post: “My database is slow. Fix it.”
This category is designed to help PostgreSQL users of all experience levels share knowledge and solve problems. Let’s keep it helpful and collaborative!
