postgres_dba
A collection of 34 diagnostic SQL reports for PostgreSQL DBAs, accessible directly within psql with no external dependencies.
What is postgres_dba?
postgres_dba is a collection of 34 diagnostic SQL reports designed for PostgreSQL database administrators and engineers. It runs entirely within psql, providing instant insights into database health, performance, bloat, locks, corruption, and indexes without requiring external agents or daemons. The tool solves the problem of fragmented monitoring by centralizing essential checks into a single, command-line accessible toolkit.
PostgreSQL database administrators, backend engineers, and DevOps professionals responsible for maintaining, optimizing, and troubleshooting PostgreSQL databases in production or development environments.
Developers choose postgres_dba because it offers zero-dependency, immediate access to production-grade diagnostics directly in psql, eliminating setup complexity. Its comprehensive report coverage—from bloat estimation to corruption checks—combined with ease of use (just type `:dba`) makes it a unique, lightweight alternative to heavier monitoring solutions.
