Question 1

When designing your Supabase database schema, what is a key best practice for ensuring data integrity and efficient querying?

Accepted Answer

Establish clear relationships between tables using foreign keys.. Establishing clear relationships between tables using foreign keys is crucial for maintaining data integrity and enabling efficient, structured queries across your Supabase database.

Answer

Establish clear relationships between tables using foreign keys.

Answer

Avoid using indexes on any columns to simplify schema management.

Answer

Store all data in a single, massive table for easy access.

Answer

Use generic, non-descriptive table and column names.

Question 2

For security in Supabase, what is the recommended approach for handling sensitive data like user passwords?

Accepted Answer

Utilize Supabase's built-in authentication and authorization features, which handle hashing and security.. Supabase provides robust built-in authentication and authorization features that securely handle user credentials, including hashing passwords, which is the recommended and most secure method.

Answer

Store passwords in plain text directly in the database.

Answer

Encrypt passwords using a simple XOR cipher before storing.

Answer

Store passwords in a separate, unencrypted file on the server.

Answer

Utilize Supabase's built-in authentication and authorization features, which handle hashing and security.

Question 3

What is a common performance optimization technique when fetching data from Supabase tables?

Accepted Answer

Use database indexes on columns frequently used in WHERE clauses or JOINs.. Implementing database indexes on columns that are frequently used in `WHERE` clauses or `JOIN` operations significantly speeds up data retrieval and improves query performance.

Answer

Fetch large datasets and then filter them client-side to reduce database load.

Answer

Use database indexes on columns frequently used in WHERE clauses or JOINs.

Answer

Always select all columns using `select('*')` even if not needed.

Answer

Implement Row Level Security (RLS) policies that are overly complex and scan every row.

Question 4

When working with Supabase Functions (Edge Functions), what is a best practice for managing dependencies?

Accepted Answer

Use a `package.json` file to declare and manage dependencies, and ensure they are bundled correctly.. Managing dependencies using a `package.json` file and ensuring they are properly bundled with your Edge Function is essential for reliable deployment and execution.

Answer

Use a `package.json` file to declare and manage dependencies, and ensure they are bundled correctly.

Answer

Include all dependencies directly in the function code.

Answer

Avoid using any external dependencies to keep functions lightweight.

Answer

Install dependencies globally on the Supabase server.

Question 5

What is a recommended strategy for handling large file uploads in Supabase Storage?

Accepted Answer

Break large files into smaller chunks and upload them sequentially or in parallel.. For large file uploads, breaking them into smaller chunks and uploading them sequentially or in parallel is a robust strategy that improves reliability and manages resources effectively.

Answer

Send the entire file content as a single JSON payload.

Answer

Break large files into smaller chunks and upload them sequentially or in parallel.

Answer

Store file metadata separately and the file content in a plain text column.

Answer

Upload files directly to the client-side browser's memory.

Question 6

Regarding Supabase Realtime subscriptions, what is a best practice to avoid overwhelming your backend?

Accepted Answer

Only subscribe to the specific tables and events that your application actively needs.. To prevent overwhelming your Supabase backend, it's best practice to subscribe only to the specific tables and events that your application requires for its realtime functionality.

Answer

Disable realtime subscriptions entirely for performance reasons.

Answer

Implement a client-side polling mechanism instead of using realtime.

Answer

Only subscribe to the specific tables and events that your application actively needs.

Answer

Subscribe to all tables and all events simultaneously.

Question 7

When migrating data into Supabase, what is a good practice to minimize downtime?

Accepted Answer

Schedule the migration during low-traffic periods and use a phased approach if possible.. Scheduling data migrations during periods of low user traffic and employing a phased approach, if feasible, helps to minimize application downtime and user impact.

Answer

Simply overwrite all existing data with the new dataset.

Answer

Disable all database operations during the entire migration process.

Answer

Perform the migration during peak user hours to ensure maximum visibility.

Answer

Schedule the migration during low-traffic periods and use a phased approach if possible.

Question 8

What is a crucial aspect of managing your Supabase project's environment variables?

Accepted Answer

Using Supabase's environment variable management for sensitive information and keeping them out of version control.. It's vital to use Supabase's built-in environment variable management for sensitive information, ensuring they are not hardcoded or exposed in version control for security.

Answer

Hardcoding sensitive environment variables directly into your client-side code.

Answer

Storing all environment variables in a publicly accessible Git repository.

Answer

Using Supabase's environment variable management for sensitive information and keeping them out of version control.

Answer

Sharing your project's API keys across multiple unrelated projects.

Question 9

For efficient data retrieval in Supabase, what role do database views play?

Accepted Answer

Views can simplify complex queries by pre-defining joins and filters, making them easier to query.. Database views in Supabase can simplify complex data retrieval by encapsulating joins and filters, making it easier to query and manage data without repeating complex SQL.

Answer

Views are only useful for read-only operations and cannot be used with realtime.

Answer

Views can simplify complex queries by pre-defining joins and filters, making them easier to query.

Answer

Views are automatically indexed and always offer the best performance.

Answer

Views are primarily used for storing large binary data.

Question 10

When implementing Row Level Security (RLS) in Supabase, what is a common pitfall to avoid?

Accepted Answer

Creating RLS policies that are too permissive and grant unintended access.. A common pitfall when implementing RLS is creating policies that are too permissive, inadvertently granting unintended access to sensitive data. Thorough testing is essential.

Answer

Writing RLS policies that are overly restrictive and block legitimate user actions.

Answer

Testing RLS policies thoroughly with different user roles before deployment.

Answer

Creating RLS policies that are too permissive and grant unintended access.

Answer

Enabling RLS on all tables by default without careful consideration.
