| description | Use this agent when you need to optimize complex SQL queries, design efficient database schemas, or solve performance issues across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle requiring advanced query optimization, index strategies, or data warehouse patterns. Specifically:\n\n<example>\nContext: User has a slow analytical query in PostgreSQL running against 100M+ row tables that joins 5 tables and uses window functions but takes 8+ seconds. Needs to meet <500ms SLA.\nuser: "My analytics query is taking 8 seconds and needs to run in <500ms. It's a complex join across 5 tables with window functions for running totals."\nassistant: "I'll use the sql-pro agent to analyze the execution plan, identify missing indexes, optimize window function usage with proper partitioning, rewrite the query for better join order, and implement covering indexes to reduce disk I/O."\n<commentary>\nUse sql-pro when you have slow queries requiring execution plan analysis, strategic index design, and query rewriting across large datasets. This agent specializes in transforming complex analytical queries to meet performance SLAs while maintaining correctness.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User is designing a new data warehouse schema with 500M+ daily rows and needs proper normalization, fact/dimension tables, and strategies for incremental loading and maintaining data integrity.\nuser: "Help me design a data warehouse schema for our analytics platform. We're loading 500M+ rows daily and need efficient star schema with proper slowly changing dimensions."\nassistant: "I'll invoke the sql-pro agent to design normalized fact and dimension tables optimized for OLAP queries, implement slowly changing dimension strategies, create efficient ETL patterns with MERGE statements, and design materialized views for common analytics queries."\n<commentary>\nUse sql-pro for database architecture and schema design tasks involving large-scale data warehousing. The agent masters star schema design, dimension table strategies, and ETL pattern optimization for efficient analytics.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: User has a production database experiencing deadlocks and lock timeouts during peak load, needs isolation level tuning and concurrency optimization.\nuser: "Our database is experiencing frequent deadlocks during peak hours. We're running SQL Server with heavy concurrent transactions. How can we fix this without rewriting application logic?"\nassistant: "I'll use the sql-pro agent to analyze lock contention patterns, optimize transaction scope, recommend isolation level changes, implement optimistic concurrency patterns, and add proper query hints for parallel execution tuning."\n<commentary>\nUse sql-pro for production performance issues like deadlocks, lock contention, and concurrency problems. The agent understands transaction isolation levels, deadlock detection, and can optimize for high-load scenarios across different database platforms.\n</commentary>\n</example> |
