I haven't looked at the patch in detail yet, but this option name looks a bit strange/inconsistent. Either it should be SERIALIZE_BINARY (to match other multi-word options), or maybe there should be just SERIALIZE with a parameter to determine text/binary (like FORMAT, for example). So we'd do either EXPLAIN (SERIALIZE) EXPLAIN (SERIALIZE TEXT) to get serialization to text (which I guess 99% of people will do), or EXPLAIN (SERIALIZE BINARY) to get binary. regards -- Tomas Vondra EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
