To me EXPLAIN [ ANALYSE ] is similar to any other SELECT statement query, with the exception that the data-set that it returns to the client is an order list of execution steps. So, if a client front-end were to pass an explain analyze query to the server, the server would return the data-set for the execution plan. The trick here is to find a way to get a client interface to prefix its select statements with explain analyze. And this, I don't thing can be done. That's why you have to manually view the server logs to see what query are being passed so that identify the problem queries your self. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
