DALIBO is proud to present the third release of PoWA, the PostgreSQL
Workload Analyzer.


Realtime traffic analysis and dynamic graphs
- --------------------------------------------

PoWA is a workload analyzer that gives a clear view of the activity of
your PostgreSQL servers with a query runtime graph and a block
hit/read graph along with a chart of time-consuming queries over the
specified time period.

If you zoom anywhere in one of the graphs, the chart will adjust and
show you which queries were running at that time. If you click on a
specific query, you will get additional graphs such as read/write
time, number of rows affected,
local and shared hit, etc.

Better predicate analyzer
- -------------------------

The pg_qualstats (https://github.com/dalibo/pg_qualstats) extension
stores new counters. It's now possible to know the most executed
predicates in relation to all the related queries. It also tracks
non-normalized queries so that it’s possible to execute an EXPLAIN of
any query tracked by  pg_stat_statements.


Database global optimization
- ----------------------------

PoWA is now able to use statistics about every predicate used by any
query executed on a database to suggest the smallest index set that
optimizes every one of those predicates.

In particular, the heuristics place heavy emphasis in consolidating
many indexes into one by giving preference to definitions spanning
multiple columns. This can provide new information about the actual
load and correlation between predicates that are traditionally hard to
discover for the DBA.

Index suggestion check
- ----------------------

Thanks to the HypoPG (https://github.com/dalibo/hypoopg) extension,
the benefits of the suggested index creations can automatically be
checked by running the queries against  hypothetical indexes.

You can see instantly if the suggested index is relevant and how much
it'll improve the query.
