sql-and-database

sql-and-database is a skill for Codex from JakubMikolajek/codex-skills-collection. It costs 93 tokens per session (11,071 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of database-engineering guidelines for designing schemas and writing, debugging, and improving SQL, the language used to work with relational databases.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps design tables, write queries and joins, choose indexes, handle transactions and locks, inspect query plans, debug SQL, and connect databases to application code.
Why use it?
It helps prevent data-integrity problems and poorly performing queries by using constraints, versioned schema changes, least-privilege access, and measured optimisation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sql-and-database scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SQL & Database Engineering

This skill provides standards, patterns, and procedures for database schema design, writing performant SQL, query debugging, and database engineering best practices. It is database-engine-agnostic with notes on engine-specific behavior where critical.

Guiding Principles

Principle Application
Data Integrity First Enforce constraints at the database level (NOT NULL, UNIQUE, FK, CHECK). Never rely solely on application-level validation.
Least Privilege Database users/roles should have only the permissions they need. Application connections should never use the superuser account.
Explicit Over Implicit Always specify column lists in SELECT, INSERT, and JOIN clauses. Avoid SELECT * in production code.
Measure Before Optimising Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify actual bottlenecks before adding indexes or restructuring queries.
Schema as Code All schema changes go through versioned migration files. Never modify production schemas manually.

1. Database Schema Architecture Design

Naming Conventions

Element Convention Example
Tables snake_case, plural nouns order_items, user_addresses
Columns snake_case first_name, created_at
Primary keys id (preferred) or <table_singular>_id id, user_id
Foreign keys <referenced_table_singular>_id user_id, order_id
Indexes idx_<table>_<columns> idx_orders_user_id_status
Unique constraints uq_<table>_<columns> uq_users_email
Check constraints chk_<table>_<description> chk_orders_total_positive
Junction/pivot tables <table1>_<table2> (alphabetical) products_tags, roles_users

Standard Columns

Every table MUST include:

CREATE TABLE orders (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),  -- or BIGSERIAL for auto-increment
    -- ... domain columns ...
    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
    updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
);

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
