⚠️ 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
