Thread: Schema obfuscator for performance question
Good Afternoon,
We are having a performance issue with our views in PostgreSQL and based on the requirements for assistance you recommend providing the full table and index schema besides additional information from this site. https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Slow_Query_Questions
We have been unsuccessful in finding a tool to obfuscate the schema before providing it for review, is there an open source tool you recommend to use?
Thanks!

Without getting into the ugly business of asking why you'd want to obfuscate schema, I can imagine a few (wrong) answers, I'll start by noting that schema transmits meaning in the very names used, so obfuscation, especially automatic and mindless obfuscation, will make the problem a lot harder to review, because it will be a lot harder to understand the schema. So... I'd suggest, if you need obfuscation, that it should be done manually, so that you may preserve meaningful names.
