PG_SHOW_PLANS

Monitoring PostgreSQL execution plans

pg_show_plans is a free PostgreSQL tool which allows you to monitor execution plans in real-time. In the past, it was not possible to monitor query plans while the SQL statement was still running. Our free software lifts these restrictions. You can now see exactly what is happening on your server – live and in real-time.

Key features

  • Inspect execution plans in real-time
  • Support for various output formats (text, JSON, etc.)
  • Support for nested plans

Available for all recent versions of PostgreSQL.
