Reading query plans, hands on

What you'll build

A habit. By the end you will read a query plan in under a minute and know which of four fixes to reach for.

Anyone who writes queries or reviews schema changes. No database internals needed; we start from the first line of a plan.

Agenda

  • 10:30 Lab one: three slow queries, three different causes
  • 11:15 Lab two: bring your own query or use ours
  • 11:45 The review checklist, and how to roll it out to a team
The dataset and the checklist are yours to keep.

What to bring

  • Laptop and charger
  • A database client you like
  • One slow query from your own system (optional)
