sql-optimization

sql-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from totvs/engpro-advpl-tlpp-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,067 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to improving SQL queries, the instructions used to read and change database data, across PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and similar databases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse execution plans, tune indexes and pagination, improve joins and subqueries, optimise batch operations, and monitor database performance.
Why use it?
It helps find slow queries, unsuitable indexes, inefficient joins, and other patterns that make database work take longer.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is Refer to [references/sonarqube-rules-reference.md](../references/sonarqube-rules-reference.md) for the complete SonarQube rules reference..

Good fit Use it to analyse execution plans, tune indexes and pagination, improve joins and subqueries, optimise batch operations, and monitor database performance.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sql-optimization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SQL Performance Optimization Assistant

Expert SQL performance optimization for ${selection} (or entire project if no selection). Focus on universal SQL optimization techniques that work across PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and other SQL databases.

Core Optimization Areas

This skill covers query performance analysis, index strategy, subquery optimization, JOIN optimization, pagination, aggregation, query anti-patterns, batch operations, temporary tables, index management, and performance monitoring.

For all universal SQL optimization patterns with BAD/GOOD code examples, see sql-optimization-patterns.md.

Universal Optimization Checklist

Query Structure

  • Avoiding SELECT * in production queries
  • Using appropriate JOIN types (INNER vs LEFT/RIGHT)
  • Filtering early in WHERE clauses
  • Using EXISTS instead of IN for subqueries when appropriate
  • Avoiding functions in WHERE clauses that prevent index usage

Index Strategy

  • Creating indexes on frequently queried columns
  • Using composite indexes in the right column order
  • Avoiding over-indexing (impacts INSERT/UPDATE performance)
  • Using covering indexes where beneficial
  • Creating partial indexes for specific query patterns

Data Types and Schema

  • Using appropriate data types for storage efficiency
  • Normalizing appropriately (3NF for OLTP, denormalized for OLAP)
  • Using constraints to help query optimizer
  • Partitioning large tables when appropriate

Query Patterns

  • Using LIMIT/TOP for result set control
  • Implementing efficient pagination strategies
  • Using batch operations for bulk data changes
  • Avoiding N+1 query problems
  • Using prepared statements for repeated queries

Performance Testing

  • Testing queries with realistic data volumes
  • Analyzing query execution plans
  • Monitoring query performance over time
  • Setting up alerts for slow queries
  • Regular index usage analysis

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
