Database Schema
Complete reference for Babylon’s PostgreSQL database schema.
Overview
Babylon uses PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM for type-safe database access.
Total Models: 30+ Relationships: Complex graph with many-to-many Special Features: Snowflake IDs, Row-Level Security, Soft deletes

Common Queries
Get User with Positions
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
where: { id: userId },
include: {
positions: {
include: {
market: true
}
}
}
});Get Feed with Authors
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
take: 20,
orderBy: { timestamp: 'desc' },
include: {
author: {
select: {
username: true,
displayName: true,
profileImageUrl: true
}
},
reactions: {
where: { userId }
}
}
});Get Leaderboard
const leaderboard = await prisma.user.findMany({
where: { isActor: false },
orderBy: { reputationPoints: 'desc' },
take: 100,
select: {
id: true,
username: true,
displayName: true,
profileImageUrl: true,
reputationPoints: true,
lifetimePnL: true
}
});Connection Pooling
Configuration
# Development (no pooling needed)
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/babylon"
# Production (use pooling)
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/babylon?pgbouncer=true&connection_limit=10"
DIRECT_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/babylon"Pool Size
// Prisma automatically manages connections
// Configure in Prisma schema:
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}
// Or programmatically:
const prisma = new PrismaClient({
datasources: {
db: {
url: process.env.DATABASE_URL
}
},
log: ['query', 'error'],
});Row-Level Security
RLS Pattern
import { asUser, asPublic } from '@/lib/db/context';
// Execute query as specific user
const data = await asUser(authenticatedUser, async (db) => {
return await db.position.findMany({
where: { userId: authenticatedUser.userId }
});
});
// Public query
const data = await asPublic(async (db) => {
return await db.market.findMany({
where: { resolved: false }
});
});Benefits:
- Prevents unauthorized data access
- Enforced at database level
- Automatic filtering
- Type-safe
Performance Tips
Use Select
// Fetches all fields
const users = await prisma.user.findMany();
// Fetch only needed fields
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
select: {
id: true,
username: true,
profileImageUrl: true
}
});Pagination
// Cursor-based (better for large datasets)
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
take: 20,
skip: 1,
cursor: {
id: lastPostId
},
orderBy: { timestamp: 'desc' }
});
// Offset-based (simpler)
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
take: 20,
skip: (page - 1) * 20,
orderBy: { timestamp: 'desc' }
});Batch Operations
// Multiple queries
for (const user of users) {
await prisma.user.update({
where: { id: user.id },
data: { reputationPoints: { increment: 10 } }
});
}
// Single query
await prisma.user.updateMany({
where: {
id: { in: userIds }
},
data: {
reputationPoints: { increment: 10 }
}
});Transactions
Atomic Operations
await prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => {
// Deduct from user balance
await tx.user.update({
where: { id: userId },
data: { virtualBalance: { decrement: amount } }
});
// Create position
await tx.position.create({
data: {
userId,
marketId,
shares,
avgPrice
}
});
// Log transaction
await tx.balanceTransaction.create({
data: {
userId,
type: 'pred_buy',
amount: -amount
}
});
});Backup & Recovery
Backup
# Create backup
pg_dump babylon > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
# Or via Prisma
bunx prisma db pull
# Creates schema from databaseRestore
# Restore from backup
psql babylon < backup-20241111.sql
# Or reset and migrate (manual)
psql babylon -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;"
psql babylon -c "CREATE SCHEMA public;"
