Analyzes SQL queries for missing indexes, N+1 patterns, suboptimal joins, and full table scans. Interprets EXPLAIN, detects anti-patterns, rewrites queries. Triggers on: "optimize this query", "slow query", "add indexes", "explain plan", "N+1 query", "why is this query slow".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SQL Optimizer

Systematic SQL performance analysis: parse query structure, interpret EXPLAIN plans,
detect anti-patterns (N+1, full scans, cartesian joins), recommend indexes, and rewrite
queries — with explanations of WHY each change improves performance, not just WHAT changed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/sql-optimizer@sha256:77338978d5c6f02f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
