Only one EXPLAIN PID/GET STATUS in one time can be executed per server - I remember lot of queries that doesn't handle CANCEL well ~ doesn't handle interrupt well, and this can be unfriendly. Cannot to say if it is good enough for first iteration. This is functionality that can be used for diagnostic when you have overloaded server and this risk looks too high (for me). The idea of receive slot can to solve this risk well. The difference from this code should not be too big - although it is not trivial - needs work with PGPROC. Other smaller issues: * probably sending line by line is useless - shm_mq_send can pass bigger data when nowait = false * pg_usleep(1000L); - it is related to single point resource Some ideas: * this code share some important parts with auto_explain (query stack) - and because it should be in core (due handling signal if I remember well), it can be first step of integration auto_explain to core. > -- > Alex > >
