Hello,
I have reviewed your documentation patch.
It looks good to me except that there is a missing space between 'NONE' and
'(' in: "SERIALIZE NONE(or OFF),"
Include information on the cost of serializing the query's output data, that is
converting it to text or binary format to send to the client. This can be a
significant part of the time required for regular execution of the query, if
the datatype output functions are expensive or if TOASTed values must be
fetched from out-of-line storage. EXPLAIN's default behavior, SERIALIZE NONE(or
OFF), does not perform these conversions. If SERIALIZE TEXT or SERIALIZE BINARY
is specified, the appropriate conversions are performed, and the time spent
doing so is measured (unless TIMING OFF is specified). If the BUFFERS option is
also specified, then any buffer accesses involved in the conversions are
counted too. In no case, however, will EXPLAIN actually send the resulting data
to the client; hence network transmission costs cannot be investigated this
way. Serialization may only be enabled when ANALYZE is also enabled. If
SERIALIZE is written without an argument, TEXT is assumed.
Could you fix this ?
Thanks.
The new status of this patch is: Waiting on Author
