Best Practices:

  • Table spaces
  • Index Types: Hash, B-Tree, GIN, GiST, BRIN, SP-GiST, partial, expression
  • Data types: 64 base types
  • Dual Table – Do not mock dual table- use view if necessary
  • Nulls- PostgreSQL and Oracle use nulls differently
  • Sequences – in PostgreSQL- each session has its own cache
  • Exceptions
  • Design guidelines
