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

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
});
