PostgreSQL DB Rescue, Audit, Maintenance

$40/hr Starting at $500

I specialize in diagnosing, repairing, and optimizing PostgreSQL databases — including legacy systems that have accumulated years of technical debt, silent bugs, and undocumented logic.

What I offer:

  • Deep forensic audit of existing PostgreSQL databases (schemas, functions, triggers, sequences)
  • Detection and repair of silent failures — broken stored procedures, wrong search paths, out-of-sync sequences, stale reservations
  • Performance tuning and query optimization
  • Trigger design and plpgsql function rewriting for correctness and maintainability
  • Database health reports with prioritized fix recommendations
  • Ongoing retainer-based database maintenance and monitoring

I have successfully rescued a 20-year-old production PostgreSQL database for a logistics client, identifying and fixing critical bugs across 125+ stored functions, correcting sequence drift, repairing broken stock management logic, and resolving stuck production orders — all without downtime.

If your database has unexplained behavior, data inconsistencies, or you simply don't trust what's running in production, I can audit it and give you clarity.

Technologies: PostgreSQL, plpgsql, SQL, pgAdmin, DB Browser
