Supabase Launches Declarative Schemas for Easier Database Management

2025-04-03

Supabase has released declarative schemas, a streamlined approach to managing and maintaining complex database schemas. By defining database structure in version-controlled .sql files, developers gain centralized management, reducing redundancy and errors. This is particularly beneficial for complex databases, like Supabase's own projects table with RLS policies and trigger functions, dramatically improving development speed—reducing schema updates from hours to minutes. This simplifies code reviews and makes parallel development significantly easier.

pgRouting: Beyond GeoSpatial, Graph Algorithms in PostgreSQL

2025-02-27

pgRouting, a PostgreSQL extension, typically finds the shortest path between two locations. However, this article explores its broader graph capabilities. It demonstrates pgRouting's applications in project management, distributed systems, and recommendation engines. By modeling task dependencies, server networks, and video recommendations as graphs, pgRouting leverages Dijkstra's and A* algorithms to find critical paths, optimal resource allocation routes, and relevant video suggestions. This showcases pgRouting as a powerful lightweight alternative beyond traditional geospatial uses.
