slow-query-analysis

Workflow:

1. Run get_slow_queries sorted by total_time to find biggest time consumers
2. For the top offender, run explain_query with analyze=true to see the actual execution plan
3. Look for: sequential scans on large tables (suggest index), nested loops with high row counts (suggest join rewrite), sorts spilling to disk (suggest work_mem increase or index)
4. Check list_indexes on affected tables to see what indexes exist
5. Suggest specific actions: CREATE INDEX statements, query rewrites, or configuration changes

If pg_stat_statements is not installed, guide setup:

• Add shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements' to postgresql.conf
• Restart PostgreSQL
• Run CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements
• For RDS/Aurora: modify parameter group, reboot instance
