What's new

  • Execution plans. New Explain button (or Ctrl+Shift+Enter) shows the
    estimated plan as text without running the query.
  • Visual query analysis. New Analyze button runs the query and renders
    the actual execution plan as a heat-colored flowchart — operators as
    connected boxes, the hottest (most time-consuming) steps in red, so the
    bottleneck is obvious. Click any step for a panel with all its metrics.
    • PostgreSQL & SQL Server: real per-step milliseconds
    • SQLite: plan structure
  • Parallelism. Operators that ran across multiple threads/workers are
    badged, with timing measured as max-across-threads (not summed).
