Advanced search in large datasets requires efficient indexes. Laravel allows adding full-text indexes, which are especially useful for search efficiency:

Schema::Table('Posts', function (blueprint $table) {
DB::Statement('ALTER TABLE posts ADD FULLTEXT fulltext_index(title, content)');
});
By adding a full-text index fulltext_indexto columns titlee content, searches for phrases in these columns will be significantly speeded up.

Setting default values ​​using raw SQL
Using raw SQL queries in migrations enables the use of more advanced indonesia rcs data database functionality , such as setting default values ​​via SQL functions:

Schema::Table('User', function (blueprint $table) {
DB::Statement("ALTER TABLE Users ADD COLUMN signup_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP");
});
In this case, by using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, the sign_up_datenewly added column automatically gets the current date and time as the default value.

Adding a column with a unique UUID
UUIDs are a great way to ensure global uniqueness of records. Laravel makes it easy to add columns like this:

Schema::Table('Invoice', function (blueprint $table) {
$table->uuid('invoice_id')->unique();
});
Adding invoice_ida column with type UUID and setting it as unique provides strong uniqueness of the identifier in the database .
