HSTORE
add_column :users, :settings, :hstore ! class User < ActiveRecord::Base #
This exposes accessors. user.wants_push = false store_accessor :settings, :wants_push, :wants_mails, :auto_save store_accessor :avatars, :large, :medium, :small end
PostgreSQL is not mysql
PROBLEM
You have a really complex query that is blazing fast
but when you come back a week after you’re like ‘WTF is that!’
a) You keep it unreadable b) You change the behavior
c) Something else?

CTE AKA WITH clause
def bad_users_with_karma User.find_by_sql(query) end ! def query <<-SQL WITH bad_users
AS (SELECT * FROM users WHERE bad = true) SELECT * FROM bad_users WHERE karma > #{karma_limit} SQL end
VIEWS THANKS PSQL
PostgreSQL believes you can fly
PROBLEM
You really need to add all this complexity that makes
that query run in seconds…
a) You use a complex query b) You denormalize in
MongoDB c) Something else?

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW bad_users AS SELECT * FROM users WHERE
bad = false; ! class BadUser < User def readonly? true end end
PostgreSQL might contains kittens and unicorns
PROBLEM
You need to search your users by username, name and
email.
a) You add that elastic search b) You select in
ruby c) Something else?

SEARCH
# Using textacular ! User.basic_search(“yannick”) User.basic_search(name: “yan:*”) User.fuzzy_search(“yannick”) # uses
trigrams ! create index on users using gin(to_tsvector('english', name));
PostgreSQL comes in multiple flavors and colors
Now, you know that the elephant database is more than
a datastore!
Thanks!
