Comprehensive PostGIS spatial table design reference covering geometry types, coordinate systems, spatial indexing, and performance patterns for location-based applications

Use this skill for general PostgreSQL table design. **Trigger when user asks to:** - Design PostgreSQL tables, schemas, or data models when creating new tables and when modifying existing ones. - Choose data types, constraints, or indexes for PostgreSQL - Create user tables, order tables, reference tables, or JSONB schemas - Understand PostgreSQL best practices for normalization, constraints, or indexing - Design update-heavy, upsert-heavy, or OLTP-style tables **Keywords:** PostgreSQL schema, table design, data types, PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, indexes, B-tree, GIN, JSONB, constraints, normalization, identity columns, partitioning, row-level security Comprehensive reference covering data types, indexing strategies, constraints, JSONB patterns, partitioning, and PostgreSQL-specific best practices.

Use this skill to analyze an existing PostgreSQL database and identify which tables should be converted to Timescale/TimescaleDB hypertables. **Trigger when user asks to:** - Analyze database tables for hypertable conversion potential - Identify time-series or event tables in an existing schema - Evaluate if a table would benefit from Timescale/TimescaleDB - Audit PostgreSQL tables for migration to Timescale/TimescaleDB/TigerData - Score or rank tables for hypertable candidacy **Keywords:** hypertable candidate, table analysis, migration assessment, Timescale, TimescaleDB, time-series detection, insert-heavy tables, event logs, audit tables Provides SQL queries to analyze table statistics, index patterns, and query patterns. Includes scoring criteria (8+ points = good candidate) and pattern recognition for IoT, events, transactions, and sequential data.

Use this skill for setting up vector similarity search with pgvector for AI/ML embeddings, RAG applications, or semantic search. **Trigger when user asks to:** - Store or search vector embeddings in PostgreSQL - Set up semantic search, similarity search, or nearest neighbor search - Create HNSW or IVFFlat indexes for vectors - Implement RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) with PostgreSQL - Optimize pgvector performance, recall, or memory usage - Use binary quantization for large vector datasets **Keywords:** pgvector, embeddings, semantic search, vector similarity, HNSW, IVFFlat, halfvec, cosine distance, nearest neighbor, RAG, LLM, AI search Covers: halfvec storage, HNSW index configuration (m, ef_construction, ef_search), quantization strategies, filtered search, bulk loading, and performance tuning.

Use this skill to implement hybrid search combining BM25 keyword search with semantic vector search using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). **Trigger when user asks to:** - Combine keyword and semantic search - Implement hybrid search or multi-modal retrieval - Use BM25/pg_textsearch with pgvector together - Implement RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion) for search - Build search that handles both exact terms and meaning **Keywords:** hybrid search, BM25, pg_textsearch, RRF, reciprocal rank fusion, keyword search, full-text search, reranking, cross-encoder Covers: pg_textsearch BM25 index setup, parallel query patterns, client-side RRF fusion (Python/TypeScript), weighting strategies, and optional ML reranking.

Use this skill when creating database schemas or tables for Timescale, TimescaleDB, TigerData, or Tiger Cloud, especially for time-series, IoT, metrics, events, or log data. Use this to improve the performance of any insert-heavy table. **Trigger when user asks to:** - Create or design SQL schemas/tables AND Timescale/TimescaleDB/TigerData/Tiger Cloud is available - Set up hypertables, compression, retention policies, or continuous aggregates - Configure partition columns, segment_by, order_by, or chunk intervals - Optimize time-series database performance or storage - Create tables for sensors, metrics, telemetry, events, or transaction logs **Keywords:** CREATE TABLE, hypertable, Timescale, TimescaleDB, time-series, IoT, metrics, sensor data, compression policy, continuous aggregates, columnstore, retention policy, chunk interval, segment_by, order_by Step-by-step instructions for hypertable creation, column selection, compression policies, retention, continuous aggregates, and indexes.
