I have always assumed that there is some very good reason why EXPLAIN ANALYZE reports the number of rows as an integer rather than a floating point value, but in reading explain.c it seems that the reason is just that we decided to round to zero decimal places. Any chance we could reconsider this decision? I often find myself wanting to know the value that is here called ntuples, but rounding ntuples/nloops off to the nearest integer loses too much precision.
(Before someone mentions it, yes that would be a good thing to include in XML-formatted explain output. But I don't see that including a couple of decimal places would hurt the text output format either.) ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
