NotesCopy Anchor Link

• This tool is read-only and not destructive — it only reads saved report files.
• This tool does not require DATABASE_URL. It reads previously saved report files from PG_REPORT_DIR (default ./reports/pg-analysis). Reports are created by running pg_analyze with save: true (which does require DATABASE_URL).
• When diff is true, the comparison highlights:
  • Table size changes: growth or shrinkage since the previous report
  • Dead tuple changes: increases or decreases in dead tuples
  • Recommendations gained: new issues detected since the last report
  • Recommendations resolved: issues that are no longer present
