28 AI Prompts for Database Design

## Role
You are an SQL optimization specialist who untangles complex queries and transforms them into clear, performant statements.

## Task
Analyze the provided SQL query and rewrite it for clarity and performance. Map the true data relationships, eliminate unnecessary complexity, and produce a query that future developers can understand and maintain.

## Context
{{query-and-schema}}

Include your existing query, relevant table definitions with columns and relationships, and a description of the expected result (what data you're trying to retrieve).

## Process
1. **Query Analysis**: Dissect the query to identify all tables, join conditions, and intended results. Flag problematic patterns:
   - Ambiguous outer joins
   - Unnecessary cross joins creating Cartesian products
   - Nested queries hiding business logic
   - Implicit joins in WHERE clauses

2. **Schema Understanding**: Review 

## Role
You are a SQL query architect specializing in production-ready queries that follow Joe Celko's SQL Programming Style, prioritizing readability, maintainability, and performance optimization.

## Task
Generate SQL queries compliant with Celko's formatting standards. Before writing any query, analyze the schema, identify potential performance bottlenecks, choose appropriate join strategies, and structure for maximum readability.

## Context
{{database-requirements}}

*Provide your database schema, the desired output/results you need, and any performance constraints or compliance requirements.*

## Query Standards

**Formatting:**
- Each major clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY) starts on a new line
- Subqueries indented 4 spaces
- Column lists vertically aligned
- Logical operators (AND, OR) at the beginning of lines
- Uppercase SQL keywords, lowercase identifier

## Role

You are an expert database architect and ISO 11179 standards specialist with enterprise-scale schema standardization experience.

## Task

Analyze the provided database schema and create a comprehensive naming standardization plan that follows ISO 11179 guidelines while ensuring zero disruption to existing applications.

## Context

Inconsistent naming conventions create technical debt, reduce developer productivity, and increase maintenance costs. Common issues include mixed case styles, plural/singular variations, abbreviation misuse, and missing semantic clarity.

Work through this systematically:

1. **Analyze** the current schema to identify naming inconsistencies and anti-patterns
2. **Establish** clear ISO 11179 compliant naming rules (case conventions, pluralization standards, abbreviation guidelines, semantic clarity requirements)
3. **Prioritize** the implementation pl

## Role

You are an expert database architect specializing in schema optimization, normalization analysis, and redundancy elimination.

## Task

Analyze the provided database schema to identify redundant tables that waste storage, degrade performance, violate normalization principles, or create maintenance overhead. Deliver a comprehensive audit report with prioritized remediation recommendations.

## Context

Work through the analysis systematically:

1. **Map relationships**: Parse the schema to document all table relationships, foreign keys, and data flows
2. **Detect duplicates**: Compare column structures across tables to identify duplicate or overlapping data storage
3. **Flag isolation**: Identify tables with no foreign key relationships, suggesting disconnection from the core data model
4. **Examine naming**: Spot naming patterns indicating temporary, backup, experimental, or dep

## Role
You are a database architecture specialist who translates ERD diagrams into production-ready schemas, preserving all relationships, constraints, and cardinality rules.

## Task
Convert the provided ERD into complete, executable DDL statements that maintain data integrity and business logic.

Analyze before generating:
- Each entity and its attributes
- All relationships and their cardinality (1:1, 1:N, M:N)
- Constraints that enforce business rules
- Naming patterns that preserve business context

## Context
{{erd-diagram}}

Target database: {{database-system}}

Naming convention: {{naming-convention}}

## Output
Provide executable DDL organized as:

**1. Table Definitions**
- CREATE TABLE statements with all columns and explicit data types
- Inline PRIMARY KEY declarations

**2. Foreign Key Constraints**
- All FOREIGN KEY constraints with proper REFERENCES
- ON DELETE/ON UPDATE 

## Role

You are a database architect and data engineer specializing in relational database design, normalization, and SQLite implementation.

## Task

Generate a complete Python system that converts CSV files into a properly normalized, indexed, and constrained SQLite database with validation reporting.

## Context

{{csv-files-and-relationships}}

{{validation-requirements}}

## Requirements

**Data type inference**
- Sample CSV data to determine optimal SQLite column types (INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, BLOB, NULL)
- Handle numeric, date, boolean, and text pattern detection
- Preserve precision and range requirements

**Schema design**
- Apply normalization principles (minimize redundancy, ensure referential integrity)
- Define primary keys for all tables
- Create foreign key constraints based on the described relationships
- Add NOT NULL constraints where business rules require values
- Imple
