# PostgreSQL Table Design

## When to Use

- Designing a new PostgreSQL schema, or reviewing one before it ships.
- Choosing column types, keys, constraints, or indexes for PostgreSQL specifically.
- Deciding whether and how to partition a large table, or how to store semi-structured data.
- Planning a schema change on a live database without downtime.

The rules and decision points for a PostgreSQL schema. The full data-type catalog, workload
patterns (update-heavy, insert-heavy, upsert, schema evolution), extensions, JSONB indexing,
and worked DDL examples are in `references/details.md`; open it when a section below points there.
