Q1Domain Verified
When analyzing a slow query in PostgreSQL, which of the following is the MOST effective initial step for a specialist to take, assuming no prior knowledge of the query's internals?
Immediately add `ANALYZE` and `VACUUM` commands to the database.
Examine the `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` output to understand the query plan and resource consumption.
Increase the `shared_buffers` parameter to a very high value.
Manually rewrite the query to use subqueries instead of joins.
Q2Domain Verified
In the context of a complex query involving multiple joins and aggregation, what is the primary role of the PostgreSQL query planner in achieving optimal performance?
To execute the query as quickly as possible, even if it means sacrificing accuracy.
To automatically rewrite the query into a more efficient form before execution.
To generate a single, universally optimal execution plan regardless of data distribution.
To explore various possible execution strategies and select the one with the lowest estimated cost based on available statistics.
Q3Domain Verified
A PostgreSQL query exhibits significant performance degradation when a specific column, previously indexed, is used in a `WHERE` clause with a `LIKE` operator using a leading wildcard (e.g., `WHERE column_name LIKE '%value%'`). Which of the following solutions is MOST likely to restore efficient query performance in this scenario?
Replace the `LIKE` operator with a full-text search operator.
Create a `trgm` (trigram) index on the column.
Add a `BRIN` index on the column.
Increase the `work_mem` parameter.
