Yaya za ka daidaita abubuwan jiya PostgreSQL?

Question

Accepted Answer

Daidaita jiya PostgreSQL ya faɗi har da **haɗa bugunin tambaya** (babbar tasiri), **daidaita tsarin (memory settings)**, daidaitattun **nuni da kulawa (vacuum)**, da sa ido. A jiya jiya, **auna gida** domin nemo ainihin mahimmanci — yawancin lokaci jiya tambaya ce mara sauri.

## Haɗa bugunin tambaya yawancin lokaci shi ne nasarar mafi girma

```sql
-- find slow/frequent queries with pg_stat_statements (essential)
SELECT query, calls, mean_exec_time FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY mean_exec_time DESC;

-- analyze a slow query with EXPLAIN ANALYZE → find Seq Scans (missing indexes), bad plans
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT ...;
```

```text
✓ Fix slow queries: add indexes (turn Seq Scans into Index Scans), fix N+1, rewrite
✓ Keep statistics fresh (ANALYZE) so the planner picks good plans
→ Most performance problems are slow queries / missing indexes, not config.
```

## Mahimman tsarin saiti (memory)

```text
shared_buffers       → memory for caching data (~25% of RAM is a common start)
work_mem             → memory per sort/hash operation (too low → disk sorts; tune carefully —
                       it's PER operation, so high values × many connections = a lot)
effective_cache_size → tells the planner how much OS cache is available (~50-75% of RAM)
maintenance_work_mem → memory for VACUUM, index creation (higher = faster maintenance)
max_connections      → and use a connection pooler (PgBouncer) rather than many connections
```

Daidaita tsarin memory zuwa hardware ka taimakawa, amma gyara tambaya/nuni yawancin lokaci sai suke da mahimmanci.

## Kulawa da haɗi

```text
✓ Ensure VACUUM/autovacuum keeps up (prevent bloat → degraded performance)
✓ Use CONNECTION POOLING (PgBouncer) — Postgres connections are expensive
✓ Add appropriate indexes (and the right index types: GIN for JSONB, etc.)
✓ Partition very large tables; archive old data
```

## Hankalin da aka auna

```text
1. MONITOR: pg_stat_statements (slow queries), pg_stat_user_tables (bloat, scans),
   and OS metrics (CPU, memory, disk I/O)
2. FIND the actual bottleneck (usually a few slow queries / missing indexes)
3. FIX it specifically (index, query rewrite, config); verify with EXPLAIN ANALYZE
→ Don't blindly tune config — profile and fix what's actually slow.
```

PostgreSQL jiya daidaita tasiri ilimi ne mai daraaja ga babbar jiya domin ajiyowar database a sauri a ƙarƙashin kaiwa na gaske, sanin daidaitattun hanyar — musamman cewa shi ne **da aka auna**, da cewa haɗa bugunin tambaya yawancin lokaci yana da mahimmanci — yana da mahimmanci domin haɗa bugunin daidaita tasiri.
