Database Design

Design schemas, write migrations, and optimize queries for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB.

What is Database Design?

Database Design is one of 70 specialized agent skills built into the Multos AI platform. When you describe a task related to data, this skill activates automatically — bringing domain-specific knowledge about database design, sql optimization, schema design directly into your development workflow.

Generates schemas with proper normalization, indexing strategies based on query patterns, migration scripts, and optimized queries. Understands PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB. Generates foreign keys, constraints, partial/covering indexes, and explains query plans.

Key Capabilities

  • Generates complete, working implementations for database design with proper error handling and edge cases
  • Understands best practices and security patterns specific to data development
  • Provides step-by-step guidance from setup through production deployment
  • Adapts to your existing codebase — works with any framework, language, or architecture
  • Generates tests alongside implementation code to ensure reliability
  • Specialized knowledge of sql optimization patterns, common pitfalls, and optimization techniques

How to Use Database Design on Multos AI

Example Prompts

  • "Design a schema for a multi-tenant SaaS with row-level security"
  • "Optimize my slow PostgreSQL query scanning 10M rows"
  • "Create a migration to add soft deletes without downtime"

Example Output

CREATE TABLE orders (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id),
  status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending',
  total_cents INTEGER NOT NULL,
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
);
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_user_status ON orders (user_id, status)
  INCLUDE (total_cents, created_at) WHERE status != 'cancelled';

Real-World Use Case

A SaaS with slow dashboard loads got a covering index that eliminated 3 table lookups, a materialized view for frequent joins, and zero-downtime migration — reducing p95 from 3.2s to 180ms.
