PostgreSQL - Performance Tuning

You run EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM products WHERE price > 100; but get an error saying "relation 'products' does not exist." What is the likely cause?

AEXPLAIN ANALYZE cannot be used with WHERE clauses

BThe query syntax is incorrect for EXPLAIN ANALYZE

CThe table 'products' does not exist in the current database

DYou forgot to commit the transaction

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the error message
The error says the table 'products' does not exist, meaning PostgreSQL cannot find it.
Step 2: Check other options
EXPLAIN ANALYZE works with WHERE clauses and the syntax is correct. Committing transaction is unrelated.
Final Answer:
The table 'products' does not exist in the current database -> Option C
Quick Check:
Relation not found = missing table [OK]

Quick Trick: Check table existence if 'relation does not exist' error appears [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming EXPLAIN ANALYZE disallows WHERE
Blaming syntax when table is missing
Thinking commit affects table visibility
