What you need is UUID's across maybe 25 tables with FKs between each, no on delete cascade, and a need to keep the data from all 25 tables elsewhere(archive schema). Getting

What about massive updates ? We recently had a usecase where we have a postgres database that has 250 million rows and we introduced a new date column, we are facing so many issues in backfilling this column today. it would be great if you could share your insights on how to handle such massive updates

it's very similar - batching is very much needed additional complexity is index write amplification - all indexes have to be updated (unlikje for DELETEs), unless it's a HOT UPDATE
