Report model

A PostgreSQL optimization report should separate evidence, risk, and action.

Use a sample report model to set expectations before a collector run: what signals are reviewed, what the report should explain, and what still requires human approval.

Expected report sections.

A good audit report makes the next decision easier without pretending that SQL changes are automatic or risk-free.

Executive summary

Plain-language priority list for the business workflow affected by database pressure.

Slow query evidence

Ranked statements by total time, mean time, calls, disk reads, temp writes, and visible business path.

Index review

Missing index candidates, unused index signals, duplicate-looking indexes, and cautions before creation or removal.

Table health

Relation size, dead tuple signals, bloat risk, vacuum and analyze timestamps, and growth patterns.

Access review

Audit role posture, overly broad access signals, extension assumptions, and credential removal reminders.

Next steps

Review order, staging checks, EXPLAIN work, rollout risk, rollback notes, and owner assignment.
