Database Schema

Complete reference for Babylon’s PostgreSQL database schema.

Overview

Babylon uses PostgreSQL with Drizzle 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

Core Models

User

Represents both real players and NPCs.

// packages/db/src/schema/users.ts export const users = pgTable('User', { id: varchar('id', { length: 191 }).primaryKey(), privyId: varchar('privyId', { length: 191 }).unique(), walletAddress: varchar('walletAddress', { length: 191 }).unique(), username: varchar('username', { length: 191 }).unique(), displayName: varchar('displayName', { length: 191 }), bio: text('bio'), profileImageUrl: text('profileImageUrl'), coverImageUrl: text('coverImageUrl'), isActor: boolean('isActor').default(false), // true = NPC // Virtual wallet virtualBalance: decimal('virtualBalance', { precision: 65, scale: 30 }).default('1000'), totalDeposited: decimal('totalDeposited', { precision: 65, scale: 30 }).default('1000'), lifetimePnL: decimal('lifetimePnL', { precision: 65, scale: 30 }).default('0'), // On-chain identity onChainRegistered: boolean('onChainRegistered').default(false), nftTokenId: integer('nftTokenId').unique(), agent0TokenId: integer('agent0TokenId'), // Reputation reputationPoints: integer('reputationPoints').default(1000), }, (table) => ({ walletAddressIdx: index('User_walletAddress_idx').on(table.walletAddress), usernameIdx: index('User_username_idx').on(table.username), isActorIdx: index('User_isActor_idx').on(table.isActor), reputationIdx: index('User_reputationPoints_idx').on(table.reputationPoints), }));

Key Fields:

  • isActor: Distinguishes NPCs from real users
  • virtualBalance: In-game currency
  • nftTokenId: ERC-8004 token ID
  • reputationPoints: Leaderboard ranking

Post

Social media posts and articles.

// packages/db/src/schema/posts.ts export const posts = pgTable('Post', { id: varchar('id', { length: 191 }).primaryKey(), // Snowflake ID type: varchar('type', { length: 191 }).default('post'), // "post" | "article" content: text('content').notNull(), fullContent: text('fullContent'), // For articles // Article fields articleTitle: varchar('articleTitle', { length: 191 }), biasScore: doublePrecision('biasScore'), // -1 to 1 sentiment: varchar('sentiment', { length: 191 }), category: varchar('category', { length: 191 }), authorId: varchar('authorId', { length: 191 }).notNull(), timestamp: timestamp('timestamp', { withTimezone: true }).defaultNow(), }, (table) => ({ authorTimestampIdx: index('Post_authorId_timestamp_idx').on(table.authorId, table.timestamp), timestampIdx: index('Post_timestamp_idx').on(table.timestamp), typeTimestampIdx: index('Post_type_timestamp_idx').on(table.type, table.timestamp), }));

Note: Uses Snowflake IDs for distributed generation:

  • 64-bit numeric IDs
  • Sortable by creation time
  • Unique across distributed systems
  • Generated in application layer

Indexes

Performance-Critical Indexes

-- Feed queries CREATE INDEX idx_posts_timestamp_desc ON "Post"("timestamp" DESC); CREATE INDEX idx_posts_author_time ON "Post"("authorId", "timestamp" DESC); -- Market queries CREATE INDEX idx_markets_resolved_end ON "Market"("resolved", "endDate"); CREATE INDEX idx_positions_user_market ON "Position"("userId", "marketId"); -- Social queries CREATE INDEX idx_follows_follower ON "Follow"("followerId"); CREATE INDEX idx_follows_following ON "Follow"("followingId"); -- Leaderboard CREATE INDEX idx_users_reputation_desc ON "User"("reputationPoints" DESC); CREATE INDEX idx_actors_reputation_desc ON "Actor"("reputationPoints" DESC);

Migrations

Creating Migrations

# Generate migration from schema changes bun run db:generate # Migration files created in drizzle/migrations/

Applying Migrations

# Development bun run db:migrate # Or push schema directly (dev/staging) bun run db:push

Rolling Back

# Manual reset (caution: loses data) psql babylon -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;" psql babylon -c "CREATE SCHEMA public;" bun run db:push # For specific rollback, restore from backup

Constraints

Unique Constraints

// Single field export const users = pgTable('User', { email: varchar('email', { length: 191 }).unique(), // ... }); // Composite export const positions = pgTable('Position', { userId: varchar('userId', { length: 191 }).notNull(), marketId: varchar('marketId', { length: 191 }).notNull(), }, (table) => ({ userMarketUnique: uniqueIndex('Position_userId_marketId_key').on(table.userId, table.marketId), }));

Check Constraints

Enforced in application logic:

  • virtualBalance >= 0
  • leverage >= 1 && leverage <= 100
  • yesShares >= 0 && noShares >= 0

Common Queries

Get User with Positions

import { db, users, positions, markets, eq } from '@babylon/db'; const user = await db.select() .from(users) .where(eq(users.id, userId)) .limit(1); const userPositions = await db.select() .from(positions) .leftJoin(markets, eq(positions.marketId, markets.id)) .where(eq(positions.userId, userId));

Get Feed with Authors

import { db, posts, users, desc, eq } from '@babylon/db'; const feedPosts = await db.select({ id: posts.id, content: posts.content, timestamp: posts.timestamp, authorUsername: users.username, authorDisplayName: users.displayName, authorProfileImageUrl: users.profileImageUrl }) .from(posts) .leftJoin(users, eq(posts.authorId, users.id)) .orderBy(desc(posts.timestamp)) .limit(20);

Get Leaderboard

import { db, users, desc, eq } from '@/db'; const leaderboard = await db.select({ id: users.id, username: users.username, displayName: users.displayName, profileImageUrl: users.profileImageUrl, reputationPoints: users.reputationPoints, lifetimePnL: users.lifetimePnL }) .from(users) .where(eq(users.isActor, false)) .orderBy(desc(users.reputationPoints)) .limit(100);

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?connection_limit=10"

Pool Size

// Drizzle manages connections via postgres.js // Configure in packages/db/src/index.ts: const client = postgres(url, { max: isProd ? 50 : isTest ? 5 : 10, // Pool size idle_timeout: isProd ? 30 : 20, // Idle timeout connect_timeout: 10, // Connection timeout ssl: isProd ? 'require' : false, // SSL mode });

Row-Level Security

RLS Pattern

import { asUser, asPublic, db, positions, markets, eq } from '@babylon/db'; // Execute query as specific user const data = await asUser(userId, async (database) => { return await database.select() .from(positions) .where(eq(positions.userId, userId)); }); // Public query const data = await asPublic(async (database) => { return await database.select() .from(markets) .where(eq(markets.resolved, false)); });

Benefits:

  • Prevents unauthorized data access
  • Enforced at database level
  • Automatic filtering
  • Type-safe

Performance Tips

Use Select

import { db, users } from '@/db'; // Fetches all fields const allUsers = await db.select().from(users); // Fetch only needed fields const usersSubset = await db.select({ id: users.id, username: users.username, profileImageUrl: users.profileImageUrl }).from(users);

Pagination

import { db, posts, desc, lt } from '@/db'; // Cursor-based (better for large datasets) const feedPosts = await db.select() .from(posts) .where(lt(posts.timestamp, lastTimestamp)) .orderBy(desc(posts.timestamp)) .limit(20); // Offset-based (simpler) const pageOfPosts = await db.select() .from(posts) .orderBy(desc(posts.timestamp)) .limit(20) .offset((page - 1) * 20);

Batch Operations

import { db, users, eq, inArray, sql } from '@/db'; // Use SQL for batch increment await db.update(users) .set({ reputationPoints: sql`${users.reputationPoints} + 10` }) .where(inArray(users.id, userIds));

Transactions

Atomic Operations

import { withTransaction, users, positions, balanceTransactions, eq, sql } from '@babylon/db'; await withTransaction(async (tx) => { // Deduct from user balance await tx.update(users) .set({ virtualBalance: sql`${users.virtualBalance} - ${amount}` }) .where(eq(users.id, userId)); // Create position await tx.insert(positions) .values({ id: generateId(), userId, marketId, shares, avgPrice }); // Log transaction await tx.insert(balanceTransactions) .values({ id: generateId(), userId, type: 'pred_buy', amount: -amount }); });

Backup & Recovery

Backup

# Create backup pg_dump babylon > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql # Or via Drizzle introspection bunx drizzle-kit pull # Creates schema from database

Restore

# Restore from backup psql babylon < backup-20241111.sql # Or reset and push (manual) psql babylon -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;" psql babylon -c "CREATE SCHEMA public;" bun run db:push
