Check the PostgreSQL plan for visualization
Today we will see how to generate plans in graphical form freely in PostgreSQL.
Try to generate a plan in json format by using the below prefix before any query you want to check plan explain (format json)
new_tbs_olap=# explain (format json) SELECT name, count(*)
new_tbs_olap-# FROM t_gender AS a, t_person AS b
new_tbs_olap-# WHERE a.id = b.gender
new_tbs_olap-# GROUP BY 1;
