amdb: An Access Method Debugging Tool
Summary: amdb is a visual debugging and profiling tool for GiST-based access methods, enabling indexability evaluation on workloads via hypergraph partitioning and statistics. It supports single-step and batch breakpoints on insert/delete/search, a graphical tree view with node metrics, tracing, and scripted workload replay to locate bugs and compare performance.
