It actually has been removed from the TODO list since you saw it last. > Comments: > ... > * AFAIK debug_query_string() still does the wrong thing when the user > submits multiple queries in a single protocol message (separated by > semi-colons). Not sure there's a way to fix that that is both easy and > efficient, though... The problem with the last bullet is pretty serious. It can be illustrated with psql: $ psql -c 'set log_statement="all";select 1;select 2;' test Server log shows: STATEMENT: set log_statement=all;select 1;select 2; Obviously this is what current_query() would return if we commit this patch, and it probably isn't 100% accurate. I see dblink exposes this: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/contrib-dblink-current-query.html Returns the currently executing interactive command string of the local database session, or NULL if it can't be determined. Note that this function is not really related to <filename>dblink</>'s other functionality. It is provided since it is sometimes useful in generating queries to be forwarded to remote databases. but making it more widely available with a possible inaccurate result is a problem. We can't think of anyway to fix this cleanly --- it would require a separate parser pass to split queries by semicolons (which psql does by default in interactive mode). Right now the parser does the splitting as part of its normal single-parse operation and just creates parse trees that don't have string representations. Perhaps we could name it received_query() to indicate it is what the backend received and it not necessarily the _current_ query. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
