Project mention: RDS Database Migration Series - Facing The Giant: How we migrated 11 TB database | dev.to | 2024-05-13
The primary culprits were two tables (and their huge indexes) that contributed approximately 90% to the total size of the database. One of them was an audit trail (paper trail versions, to be exact), and the second one was more domain-specific for short-term rentals. It's a pre-computed cache of prices for properties depending on various conditions so that they don't need to be computed each time on the fly and can be easily distributed to other services.

SqlKata Query Builder
SQL query builder, written in c#, helps you build complex queries easily, supports SqlServer, MySql, PostgreSql, Oracle, Sqlite and Firebird
It seems to me a big part of the problem is that the "query builder" in TFA is little more than a string builder. In the .Net world I've used SqlKata [0] and been very pleased with it. It allows you to easily dynamically build and compose queries.
