+### Explain
+Laravel has the ability to get the database query plan for any query you are building. Just calling `explain()` on the query will get a collection with the query plan.
+
+This behaviour has been extended to be more PostgreSQL specific. There are multiple (optional) parameters for the [explain statement](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-explain.html), different for every version. The enhanced PostgreSQL driver will automatically activate all options available for your PostgreSQL version.
+
+```php
+DB::table('migrations')->where('batch', 1)->explain()->dd();
+
+// Output:
+// array:1 [
+//  0 => """
+//    Seq Scan on public.migrations  (cost=0.00..11.75 rows=1 width=524)\n
+//      Output: id, migration, batch\n
+//      Filter: (migrations.batch = 1)\n
+//    Settings: search_path = 'public'\n
+//    Planning Time: 0.370 ms
+//    """
+//]
+```
+
+Additionally, you can also get the query plan with executing the query. The query plan will be extended by valuable runtime information like per-operation timing and buffer read/write statistics:
+
+```php
+DB::table('migrations')->where('batch', 1)->explain(analyze:true)->dd();
+
+// Output:
+// array:1 [
+//  0 => """
+//    Seq Scan on public.migrations  (cost=0.00..11.75 rows=1 width=524) (actual time=0.014..0.031 rows=1 loops=1)\n
+//      Output: id, migration, batch\n
+//      Filter: (migrations.batch = 1)\n
+//      Buffers: shared hit=1\n
+//    Settings: search_path = 'public'\n
+//    Planning:\n
+//      Buffers: shared hit=61\n
+//    Planning Time: 0.282 ms\n
+//    Execution Time: 0.100 ms
+//    """
+//]
+```
+**NOTE: The PostgreSQL-specific query plan is currently limited to `Query\Builder` instances, for `Eloquent\Builder` instances [PR #40075](https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/40075) needs to be merged to Laravel or you have to use `$query->toBase()` for transforming an eloquent query builder to a base query builder.**
