# VisualTraceBench: SQL Performance Regression Debugging Benchmark

An interactive demo for the VisualTraceBench dataset — 192 production SQL performance regression bugs from a large enterprise column-store database system (2016–2025).

## Key Finding

**VPER = 27.9%** — Visual execution plan traces improve AI diagnostic accuracy by 27.9% over tabular query statistics alone (p < 0.001).

## Dataset

- 192 annotated production bug reports
- Each paired with a PlanViz-style SQL execution plan visualization
- Fully anonymized (k-anonymity ≥ 5, no customer data)
