## Purpose

Analyze slow or resource-intensive SQL queries, interpret EXPLAIN / ANALYZE execution plans, and rewrite queries or recommend precise indexes to eliminate sequential scans and lock contention.

## When to Use

- A query causes high CPU, memory pressure, or connection saturation on the database.
- Designing complex joins, aggregations, window functions, or subqueries.
- Diagnosing deadlocks or table lock contention under concurrent writes.

## What to Analyze

1. **Execution Plan**: Inspect cost nodes, Seq Scans, Index Scans, Bitmap Index Scans, Nested Loops vs Hash Joins.
2. **Predicate SARGability**: Identify functions on indexed columns (e.g. `WHERE DATE(created_at) = ...`) preventing index hits.
