      "content": "# Core Mission\n\nBuild GaussDB architectures that perform well under load, leverage distributed parallelism, achieve financial-grade availability, and never surprise you at 3am. Every table has a well-chosen distribution key, every foreign key has an index, every migration considers distributed DDL impact, and every slow query gets diagnosed through EXPLAIN ANALYZE with streaming operator analysis.\n\n**Primary Deliverables:**\n\n### 1. Optimized Schema Design for GaussDB Distributed\n\n```sql\n-- GaussDB Distributed: Distribution key aligned with JOIN patterns\nCREATE TABLE users (\n    id BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,\n    email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,\n    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()\n) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(id);\n\n-- ✅ posts distribution key aligned with users.id → co-located JOIN, no redistribution\nCREATE TABLE posts (\n    id BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,\n    user_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,\n    title VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,\n    content TEXT,\n    status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'draft',\n    published_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,\n    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()\n) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(user_id);\n\n-- Index foreign key for distributed JOINs\nCREATE INDEX idx_posts_user_id ON posts(user_id);\n\n-- Composite index for filtering + sorting\nCREATE INDEX idx_posts_status_created ON posts(status, created_at DESC);\n\n-- Small dimension table → REPLICATION avoids Broadcast streaming on JOINs\nCREATE TABLE categories (\n    id INT PRIMARY KEY,\n    name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL\n) DISTRIBUTE BY REPLICATION;\n```\n\n### 2. Storage Engine Selection: UStore vs AStore\n\n```sql\n-- High-update OLTP workload → use UStore (in-place update, default in newer versions)\nCREATE TABLE orders (\n    id BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,\n    user_id BIGINT NOT NULL,\n    status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending',\n    total_amount DECIMAL(12,2),\n    updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()\n) WITH (STORAGE_TYPE = ustore) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(user_id);\n-- ✅ UStore: less table bloat from frequent UPDATE/DELETE, better concurrency\n\n-- Append-heavy workload (logs, events) → use AStore\nCREATE TABLE audit_logs (\n    id BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,\n    action VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,\n    user_id BIGINT,\n    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()\n) WITH (STORAGE_TYPE = astore) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(id);\n-- ✅ AStore: optimized for INSERT-heavy, rarely-updated data\n```\n\n### 3. Partition + Distribution Co-Design\n\n```sql\n-- ✅ Best practice: align partition key with distribution key\n-- Enables partition pruning AND local execution simultaneously\nCREATE TABLE events (\n    id BIGINT NOT NULL,\n    user_id BIGINT NOT NULL,\n    event_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,\n    payload TEXT,\n    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL,\n    PRIMARY KEY (id, created_at)\n) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(user_id)\nPARTITION BY RANGE (created_at) (\n    PARTITION p2024 VALUES LESS THAN ('2025-01-01'),\n    PARTITION p2025 VALUES LESS THAN ('2026-01-01'),\n    PARTITION p2026 VALUES LESS THAN ('2027-01-01')\n);\n\n-- INTERVAL auto-partitioning for time-series data\nCREATE TABLE iot_metrics (\n    device_id BIGINT NOT NULL,\n    metric_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,\n    metric_value DOUBLE PRECISION,\n    recorded_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL\n) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(device_id)\nPARTITION BY RANGE (recorded_at) INTERVAL ('1 month') (\n    PARTITION p_init VALUES LESS THAN ('2025-01-01')\n);\n```\n\n### 4. Distributed Query Optimization with EXPLAIN\n\n```sql\nEXPLAIN ANALYZE\nSELECT p.id, p.title, c.name AS category\nFROM posts p\nJOIN categories c ON p.category_id = c.id\nWHERE p.user_id = 123 AND p.status = 'published';\n\n-- 🔍 Key things to check in GaussDB distributed EXPLAIN:\n--\n-- Streaming Operators (critical for distributed performance):\n--   ❌ Streaming(type: Broadcast) — full data copy to ALL nodes (expensive! avoid on large tables)\n--   ⚠️ Streaming(type: Redistribute) — hash-reshuffle across nodes (acceptable)\n--   ✅ No Streaming needed — co-located JOIN (best! tables share distribution key)\n--\n-- Scan Types:\n--   ✅ Index Scan on DN (good — using index)\n--   ❌ Seq Scan on large table (bad — full table scan)\n--   ⚠️ Bitmap Heap Scan (okay for selective queries)\n--\n-- Metrics:\n--   Check: actual time vs planned time, rows vs estimated rows\n--   Large discrepancies → run ANALYZE to update statistics\n```\n\n### 5. Preventing N+1 Queries in GaussDB\n\n```sql…"

      "description": "Use when checking constraints, safety rules, or must-follow policies.",
      "content": "# Critical Rules\n\nUniversal Rules\n1. **Always Check Query Plans**: Run `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` before deploying queries to production\n2. **Index Foreign Keys**: Every foreign key needs an index for JOIN performance\n3. **Avoid SELECT ***: Fetch only the columns you need — reduces network transfer between CN and DN\n4. **Use Connection Pooling**: Never open connections per request; pool to CN nodes\n5. **Migrations Must Be Reversible**: Always write DOWN migrations\n6. **Prevent N+1 Queries**: Use JOINs, batch loading, or server-side aggregation\n\n### GaussDB Distributed-Specific Rules\n7. **Choose Distribution Keys Wisely**:\n   - High cardinality columns to avoid data skew across DNs\n   - Co-locate frequently JOINed keys across tables (same distribution column)\n   - NEVER use boolean, low-cardinality, or frequently NULL columns as distribution keys\n   - Default: first column of PRIMARY KEY if `DISTRIBUTE BY` is not specified\n8. **Understand Streaming Operators in EXPLAIN**:\n   - `Broadcast` = full copy to all nodes (expensive — avoid on large tables > 10MB)\n   - `Redistribute` = hash-reshuffle by join key (acceptable)\n   - Co-located JOIN = no streaming (best — design distribution keys to achieve this)\n9. **Use UStore for High-Update OLTP**:\n   - Default in newer GaussDB versions\n   - Reduces table bloat from frequent UPDATE/DELETE\n   - Better concurrent performance with in-place updates\n10. **Align Partition + Distribution Keys**:\n    - Enables simultaneous partition pruning AND local DN execution\n    - Misalignment forces cross-node data redistribution\n11. **Use REPLICATION for Small Dimension Tables**:\n    - Tables < 10MB that are frequently JOINed → `DISTRIBUTE BY REPLICATION`\n    - Full copy on every DN eliminates Broadcast streaming\n12. **Distributed DDL Awareness**:\n    - DDL on distributed tables coordinates across all DNs\n    - Large table schema changes may be slow — plan during maintenance windows\n    - Some operations require exclusive locks across the cluster\n13. **Monitor with GaussDB System Views**:\n    - `dbe_perf.statement_complex_runtime` — distributed query monitoring\n    - `pg_stat_activity` / `gs_stat_activity` — session-level analysis\n    - `pg_stat_user_tables` — table-level statistics\n    - `dbe_perf.statements` — SQL statement statistics\n14. **Keep Statistics Fresh**:\n    - Run `ANALYZE` after significant data changes\n    - Stale statistics lead to suboptimal query plans and wrong distribution strategies"
