Sample Project: full PostgreSQL workflow, not a user diagnosis
This is a static sample/demo project. It is not a diagnosis of your database, does not inspect user data, and does not represent findings from your environment.
Checkout Reliability Sample Project
A SaaS checkout team is preparing PostgreSQL schema changes for orders, payments, refunds, and customer support lookup screens.
Build, Review, Migration, Validate, Audit, Compare
The sample shows how project evidence moves from a schema draft to owner decisions. It does not touch production systems.
Draft relational model from product notes
Convert checkout requirements into normalized tables, foreign keys, and timestamp conventions before any production connection exists.
Check SQL design risks before migration
Flag missing uniqueness rules, broad nullable fields, and query paths that need evidence before indexes are added.
Package safe rollout plan
Split DDL into forward migration, rollback notes, lock-risk comments, and application deployment order.
Capture handoff evidence from staging
List exact staging checks for constraints, backfill counts, EXPLAIN output, and application smoke tests.
Read sample operational signals
Show how a real read-only audit would translate sequential scans, temp writes, and index health into owner-ready findings.
Compare before and after evidence
Summarize which risks improved, which need more evidence, and which changes stay blocked until ownership is clear.
Project handoff files visible before signup
Each card mirrors the kind of file a real authenticated project can produce, using static sample content.
DDL
Schema draft for checkout objects, keys, and first-pass indexes.
- orders/payments/refunds tables
- foreign key map
- idempotency key constraint
migration package
Forward migration, rollback notes, lock notes, and deployment order.
- 001_checkout_core.sql
- rollback notes
- lock-risk checklist
validation handoff
Owner checklist for staging proof before the project can move forward.
- row-count checks
- EXPLAIN captures
- application smoke tests
audit report
Example read-only operational findings format for a live database review.
- sequential scan pressure
- temp write risk
- index health notes
compare summary
Before/after owner summary showing accepted, unresolved, and blocked items.
- risk movement
- evidence gaps
- blocked decisions
Accepted, needs evidence, blocked/rejected
Decisions are explicit so a team can separate safe work, missing proof, and changes that should not ship.
Add uniqueness guard for payment provider reference
Duplicate provider references can create support disputes. The sample migration includes a staged unique index plan.
Add composite index for support order lookup
The access path is plausible, but the sample review requires an EXPLAIN plan from the real lookup query before adding index weight.
Run broad production cleanup during checkout deploy
Cleanup is operationally unrelated to the schema launch and has no rollback owner in this sample project.
Demo result: one accepted change, one evidence gap, one rejected rollout item.
A real project replaces this static narrative with your own project artifacts, validation notes, audit evidence, and decision history.
