### How to prepare for speedy database reviews
In order to make reviewing easier and therefore faster, please consider preparing a comment
and details for a database reviewer:
- Provide queries in SQL form rather than ActiveRecord.
- Format any queries with a SQL query formatter, for example with [sqlformat.darold.net](http://sqlformat.darold.net).
- Consider providing query plans via a link to [explain.depesz.com](https://explain.depesz.com) or another tool instead of textual form.
- For query changes, it is best to provide the SQL query along with a plan *before* and *after* the change. This helps to spot differences quickly.
- When providing query plans, make sure to use good parameter values, so that the query executed is a good example and also hits enough data. Usually, the `gitlab-org` namespace (`namespace_id = 9970`) and the `gitlab-org/gitlab-ce` project (`project_id = 13083`) provides enough data to serve as a good example.
