Yesterday on PGXN I just released the first version of planinstr, a plugin module to append planner time to EXPLAIN. I post this here since it is mostly for developers.
http://www.pgxn.org/dist/planinstr/ db1=# load '$libdir/planinstr'; LOAD db1=# explain select * from pg_class; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on pg_class (cost=0.00..141.87 rows=3287 width=194) Plan time: 0.119 ms db1=# explain analyze select count(*) from size_m; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aggregate (cost=26272.00..26272.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=51.938..51.938 rows=1 loops=1) -> Append (cost=0.00..23147.00 rows=1250000 width=0) (actual time=0.037..45.809 rows=20000 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on size_m (cost=0.00..847.00 rows=20000 width=0) (actual time=0.037..41.863 rows=20000 loops=1) <.. snip ..> -> Seq Scan on myt1000 size_m (cost=0.00..22.30 rows=1230 width=0) (actual time=0.001..0.001 rows=0 loops=1) Total runtime: 75.217 ms Plan time: 61.353 ms (1005 rows) This may help to make the planner performance regression visible on some internal logic refactoring, etc. Hope this helps someone. Feel free to tell me if similar mechanism already exists, or you want more rich interfaces. Github is here: https://github.com/umitanuki/planinstr Also free to fork and send pull request!
