    It works particularly well with pg_stat_statements[0] which tracks execution statistics of all SQL statements executed on your Postgres database.

    It leans heavily on HypoPG[1], an excellent extension to determine if PostgreSQL will use a given index without spending resources to create them.

    This is an introduction to the hypopg PostgreSQL extension for YugabyteDB 2.15.3.0. Hypopg allows the creation of hypothetical indexes, so indexes that do not really exist. This means this allows you to see what an index would do if it were created, without it actually being created, and therefore not influencing anything on the database. YugabyteDB 2.15.3.0 is a preview version of the YugabyteDB database.

    There's a lot of good ecosystem stuff around this:

    https://github.com/HypoPG/hypopg

    HypoPG is a PostgreSQL extension adding support for hypothetical indexes.

    An hypothetical -- or virtual -- index is an index that doesn't really exists, and thus doesn't cost CPU, disk or any resource to create. They're useful to know if specific indexes can increase performance for problematic queries, since you can know if PostgreSQL will use these indexes or not without having to spend resources to create them.
