This is not a regular session. Attendees will leave with a working mental model and concrete scripts to reuse in their own environments to implement database-native event propagation. Don't miss @jasminfluri.bsky.social 's session at #POUG2026! poug.org

Giving your app direct access to database tables means Increased risks for schema changes A heavy maintenance burden @jasminfluri.bsky.social discusses how accessing views & stored procedures instead gives Encapsulated schema changes Security & governance Improved versioning
What is an Anti-Corruption Layer in the Database and When Do You Need It?
Without an Anti-Corruption-Layer (ACL), direct database table access leads to tight coupling, increased risk of breakage on schema changes…

Database management is more than persistence. Beyond persistence, a DBMS also provides access rights (GRANT), schema enforcement (types, constaints), schema evolution (ALTER), concurrency control (TX isolation, deferred constraints), a query language… Persistence is simple, DB managemant is hard.
The Expand/Contract Method is a tool for safe database changes Expand: add new schema elements Migrate: move code to these Contract: remove old elements @jasminfluri.bsky.social discusses using it to Rename a column Split a table Change the data type of a column
Expand and Contract Method for Database Changes
The Expand and Contract pattern is an iterative, backwards-compatible technique to apply database changes in small, safe steps.

Database deployments can fail But rolling back schema changes is tricky - so plan them @jasminfluri.bsky.social runs through options Versioned Migrations with Reversible Scripts Backups before Changes Immutable Migrations & Forward Fixes Restore Points & Flashbacks
Database Rollbacks in CI/CD: Strategies and Pitfalls
Database rollbacks would be incredibly valuable and essential if we want quick fixes for failed deployments. But they are rarely feasible.
