postgres_dba 7.0 — 34 diagnostic reports for psql
- Jump to comment-1PostgresAI via PostgreSQL Announce<announce-noreply@postgresql.org>Feb 16, 2026, 9:59 AM UTCpostgres_dba 7.0 is a major update to the interactive psql-based diagnostic toolkit for Postgres. No extensions required — just `\i start.psql` and explore 34 reports covering:
- Bloat & vacuum analysis (v1, v2) — activity, progress, autovacuum queue
- Table & index health (i1–i3) — unused indexes, redundant indexes, non-indexed FKs
- Query analysis (s1–s3) — pgstatstatements top queries and workload profile
- Tuning (t1, t2) — storage parameters, config recommendations
- Table/index size estimation (b1–b6) — alignment padding, bloat, buffer cache
- Lock trees (l1) — who's blocking whom
- Corruption checks (c1–c4) — 4-level amcheck suite from quick scans to full heap verification
- Memory analysis (m1) — buffer cache contents by relation
What's new in 7.0:
- 7 new reports: b6 (buffer cache analysis), s3 (workload profile), c1–c4 (amcheck corruption detection), m1 (buffer cache)
- WAL and replication info added to the system overview (report 0)
- CI on Postgres 13–18
- PG17 compatibility fixes for pgstatstatements column renames
- Modernized README with badges, per-report descriptions, and optional extension table
Works on Postgres 13–18. Just clone the repo and run.
