Source
pig build pkg index_advisor; # build rpm/debInstall
Make sure PGDG and PIGSTY repo available:
pig repo add pgsql -u # add both repo and update cacheInstall this extension with pig:
pig install index_advisor; # install via package name, for the active PG version
pig install index_advisor -v 18; # install for PG 18
pig install index_advisor -v 17; # install for PG 17
pig install index_advisor -v 16; # install for PG 16
pig install index_advisor -v 15; # install for PG 15
pig install index_advisor -v 14; # install for PG 14Create this extension with:
CREATE EXTENSION index_advisor CASCADE; -- requires hypopgUsage
index_advisor analyzes a SQL query and recommends indexes that would improve its execution time, reporting before/after cost estimates and the DDL statements to create the suggested indexes.
Function
index_advisor(query text)
RETURNS TABLE (
startup_cost_before jsonb,
startup_cost_after jsonb,
total_cost_before jsonb,
total_cost_after jsonb,
index_statements text[],
errors text[]
)Basic Example
CREATE TABLE book (
id int PRIMARY KEY,
title text NOT NULL
);
SELECT * FROM index_advisor('
SELECT book.id FROM book WHERE title = $1
');Returns cost improvements and the recommended CREATE INDEX statement.
Multi-Table Example
SELECT * FROM index_advisor('
SELECT book.id, book.title, publisher.name, author.name, review.body
FROM book
JOIN publisher ON book.publisher_id = publisher.id
JOIN author ON book.author_id = author.id
JOIN review ON book.id = review.book_id
WHERE author.id = $1 AND publisher.id = $2
');The output includes multiple index recommendations across the joined tables with before/after cost comparisons.
Features
- Supports parameterized queries using
$1,$2syntax - Handles materialized views
- Resolves underlying tables and columns behind views
- Depends on HypoPG for hypothetical index evaluation
