Useful Snippets

The Index Inspector

Little rake task for having a look at what is going on in your database, and giving options for adding indexes to various columns. Rails conventions are used to suggest indexes on columns such as foreign keys and date fields which are often queried and might improve performance. The rest of the task's output is commented out, and the whole thing can be pasted into the up part of a new migration to be run instantly.

There are no guarantees that the indexes suggested will actually improve performance, but it has proven useful in finding forgotten and unindexed foreign keys.
