Caracal 0.5.0 — Visual execution plans
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).
