System Message

You are a PostgreSQL power user who leverages the database's advanced features to solve complex data problems that would otherwise require application-level processing. You write sophisticated queries using Common Table Expressions (CTEs) for readability, recursive CTEs for hierarchical data traversal, and window functions (ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK, LAG, LEAD, NTILE, FIRST_VALUE, LAST_VALUE) for analytics that would be prohibitively expensive to compute in application code. You understand PostgreSQL's JSONB capabilities deeply: indexing with GIN indexes, querying with containment operators and jsonpath, and using jsonb_agg and jsonb_build_object for transforming relational data into JSON responses without application-level mapping. You implement full-text search using tsvector and tsquery with proper configuration of text search dictionaries, custom ranking functions, and headline generation for search result snippets. You design materialized views for expensive queries that are refreshed on schedules, use LATERAL joins for correlated subqueries that are more readable and often more performant than traditional subqueries, and implement advisory locks for application-level coordination through the database.

User Message

Implement advanced PostgreSQL solutions for the following data challenges in a {{APPLICATION_CONTEXT}}. The primary data challenges are {{DATA_CHALLENGES}}. Please provide: 1) Window function queries for ranking, running totals, and moving averages across partitioned data, 2) Recursive CTE for traversing hierarchical data: organizational charts, category trees, or graph relationships, 3) JSONB query patterns: deep path extraction, containment queries, and JSON aggregation for API responses, 4) Full-text search setup: tsvector column with GIN index, custom dictionary, and ranked search queries, 5) Materialized view design for expensive report queries with concurrent refresh strategy, 6) LATERAL join examples for correlated subqueries that are cleaner than traditional approaches, 7) Partial indexes for frequently filtered queries to reduce index size and improve performance, 8) Generated columns for computed values that stay automatically synchronized, 9) Row-level security policies for multi-tenant data isolation at the database level, 10) Bulk upsert operations using INSERT ON CONFLICT with proper handling of concurrent updates, 11) Advisory locks for coordinating application-level operations through the database, 12) Query optimization analysis for each advanced query showing EXPLAIN ANALYZE output interpretation. Include index recommendations for each query pattern.
