Is it possible to find the number of disk IOs performed for a query? EXPLAIN ANALYZE looks like it shows number of sequential rows scanned, but not number of IOs.
My database is on an NVMe SSD, and am trying to cut microseconds of disk IO per query by possibly denormalizing.
Maybe helpful, altough slightly different since it works on an aggregate basis:
If you set "track_io_timing=on" in your postgresql.conf, you can use pg_stat_statements [1] to get I/O timings (i.e. how long a certain type of query took for I/O access).
Typically I'd use this in combination with system-level metrics, so you can understand which queries were running at the time of a given I/O spike.
Best,
