Query Optimization (Grade A)安全性经过验证的开发技能，为Claude AI。评级A。识别并解决慢数据库查询的工作流。使用时：慢速查询时、或用户要求优化数据库性能时。

How does the skill benchmark performance after optimization?

After applying changes, it runs EXPLAIN ANALYZE on the modified query, comparing execution times and plan details to the original to verify improvement.

What are the main limitations of using this tool?

The skill assumes the user has knowledge of database query analysis and can make schema changes. It requires access to run EXPLAIN ANALYZE and may need code changes to implement optimizations.

Which optimization techniques are supported by this skill?

It can add missing or partial indexes, rewrite subqueries as JOINs, filter data with WHERE clauses, replace OFFSET with cursor-based pagination, and even denormalize tables when read performance is critical.

What steps does the Query Optimization skill follow to improve slow queries?

The workflow starts with identifying the slow query, measuring its execution time and frequency. Then it runs EXPLAIN ANALYZE to analyze the query plan, spotting sequential scans, missing indexes, and unnecessary joins. Finally, it applies optimizations such as adding indexes, rewriting subqueries, or using pagination, and benchmarks the result with EXPLAIN ANALYZE again.
