Performance Findings from Latest Health Check (2025-11-21)
Database Health Overview
The latest health check (service.data.impl/sample-data/health_check_20251121_143220.txt) reveals important performance insights:
Overall Health Score: 78.37/100 (Status: GOOD - Monitor warnings, plan improvements)
Category Performance
| Category | Pass Rate | Status | Issues |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schema Integrity | 90.8% | β Good | 12 failures (Quartz orphaned records) |
| Data Quality | 88.9% | β Good | 1 warning (sweden_political_party has 40 rows) |
| Performance | 5.6% | β οΈ Needs Attention | 84 warnings (68 missing indexes, 10 slow queries) |
| View Dependencies | 10.0% | β οΈ Needs Investigation | 9 empty views |
Critical Performance Issues
1. Slow Query Patterns (10 queries identified)
Top slow queries requiring optimization:
| Query Description | Avg Time | Calls | Impact | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table inventory DO block | 413,196ms | 1 | High | Optimize row count queries |
| jv_snapshot COUNT query | 256,481ms | 1 | High | Add index or use estimate |
| View inventory DO block | 233,299ms | 1 | High | Optimize view row counts |
| Materialized view refresh (ballot politician) | 83,546ms | 1 | Medium | Consider incremental refresh |
| jv_global_id COUNT query | 83,467ms | 1 | High | Add index or use estimate |
| Materialized view refresh (ballot politician daily) | 74,450ms | 1 | Medium | Consider incremental refresh |
| Foreign key integrity check | 60,638ms | 1 | Medium | Batch processing approach |
| View integrity check | 43,195ms | 1 | Medium | Optimize view validation |
| jv_commit COUNT query | 37,797ms | 1 | Medium | Add index on table |
| Member proposals count | 30,148ms | 1 | Medium | Optimize view query |
Action Required: The audit tables (jv_*) are causing significant performance issues. Consider:
- Adding indexes on jv_snapshot, jv_global_id, jv_commit
- Implementing table partitioning for audit data
- Using pg_class.reltuples for approximate counts instead of COUNT(*)
2. Missing Indexes on Foreign Keys (68 indexes)
The health check identified 68 foreign key columns without indexes, causing performance degradation in JOIN operations. Priority indexes to create:
High Priority (Join-heavy tables):
document_status_container(7 missing indexes on FK columns)person_element(3 missing indexes)qrtz_cron_triggers(3 missing indexes)document_person_reference_da_0(1 missing index, high volume table)
Medium Priority:
- Various assignment, committee, and document tables (50+ missing indexes)
3. Materialized View Maintenance Issues
Never Vacuumed (10 materialized views):
view_riksdagen_document_type_daily_summary(2.3 MB)view_riksdagen_org_document_daily_summary(5.2 MB)view_riksdagen_party_document_daily_summary(448 KB)view_riksdagen_politician_document(30 MB) β οΈ High Impactview_riksdagen_politician_document_daily_summary(2.2 MB)view_riksdagen_politician_document_summary(400 KB)view_riksdagen_vote_data_ballot_party_summary(26 MB) β οΈ High Impactview_riksdagen_vote_data_ballot_politician_summary(1.2 GB) β οΈ Critical Impactview_riksdagen_vote_data_ballot_summary(3 MB)view_worldbank_indicator_data_country_summary(3.1 MB)
Recommendation: Schedule weekly VACUUM ANALYZE for all materialized views.
Never Refreshed (4 materialized views):
view_riksdagen_vote_data_ballot_party_summary_annualview_riksdagen_vote_data_ballot_summary_annualview_riksdagen_vote_data_ballot_summary_monthlyview_riksdagen_vote_data_ballot_summary_weekly
Recommendation: Set up automated refresh schedule using refresh-all-views.sql.
4. Table Bloat Issue
Critical Bloat Detected:
qrtz_scheduler_state: 1 live tuple, 1,612 dead tuples (161,200% dead ratio)
Recommendation: Execute VACUUM FULL qrtz_scheduler_state; during maintenance window.
Empty Intelligence Views Investigation Required
The following 9 intelligence views return 0 rows and require investigation:
view_ministry_effectiveness_trends- Ministry analysis viewview_ministry_productivity_matrix- Ministry performance metricsview_ministry_risk_evolution- Ministry risk trackingview_politician_risk_summary- Individual politician riskview_riksdagen_coalition_alignment_matrix- Coalition analysisview_riksdagen_crisis_resilience_indicators- Crisis monitoringview_riksdagen_politician_influence_metrics- Influence trackingview_riksdagen_voting_anomaly_detection- Anomaly detectionview_risk_score_evolution- Overall risk trends
Possible Causes:
- Views depend on data that hasn't been loaded yet (ministry assignments, risk calculations)
- Views have WHERE clauses filtering out all current data
- Views depend on other empty base tables or views
- Views require manual calculation/scoring that hasn't been performed
Recommendation: See TROUBLESHOOTING_EMPTY_VIEWS.md for diagnostic steps (if it exists) or create investigation plan in SCHEMA_IMPROVEMENT_ACTION_PLAN.md.
Conclusion
The DATA_ANALYSIS_INTOP_OSINT.md document has been successfully enhanced with comprehensive SQL query examples that bridge the gap between theoretical analytical frameworks and practical database operations. All queries are validated against the existing database schema, include realistic sample outputs, document performance characteristics, and explain intelligence value.
The addition of the SQL Best Practices section provides essential guidance for analysts and developers working with the CIA database, ensuring queries are performant, safe, and maintainable.
Recommendation: Approve for immediate use. Consider creating an automated test suite that runs these queries against the development database to ensure continued schema compatibility.
