Develop Database Schema Optimization

1. Collect all relevant schema information, including tables, columns, indexes, and relationships.
2. Replace the placeholder section in the prompt with actual schema details.
3. Specify any performance goals or constraints if necessary (e.g., read-heavy, write-heavy workloads).
4. Run the prompt with your AI tool to generate recommendations.
5. Review the suggested optimizations, prioritize based on impact, and implement incrementally.
6. Common mistakes to avoid: omitting key relationships, neglecting indexes, or not providing usage patterns, which may reduce the quality of AI suggestions.

Provide detailed schema descriptions for more accurate recommendations.
Include information about workload patterns (read vs write-heavy) for context-specific optimization.
Ask the AI to provide visual diagrams or example SQL statements for clarity.
Run iterative optimizations and validate against test data to ensure practical improvements.
Combine AI suggestions with domain expertise to avoid over-optimization or conflicts.
