Description
SQL Performance Benchmark Integration with Graph Load Visualization
Problem Description
Database performance analysis typically involves examining query execution plans, table statistics, and index usage separately from the actual data structure. This fragmented approach makes it difficult to understand the relationship between data architecture and performance bottlenecks.
Traditional performance monitoring tools show metrics in isolation, but don't provide a visual representation of how database load flows through table relationships, join operations, and data dependencies. Understanding the performance impact of specific relationships and identifying bottlenecks in complex database schemas remains challenging.
Proposed Solution
Implement a comprehensive performance benchmark integration system that:
- Integrates with SQL benchmark tools to collect performance metrics
- Maps performance data to graph relationships showing load flows
- Visualizes performance bottlenecks as directional graph edges with weight/color coding
- Provides interactive performance analysis with drill-down capabilities
- Generates performance optimization recommendations based on graph analysis
