The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/glossary.html Description:
Hello, the glossary (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/glossary.html) does not define 'statement' but a definition would be important to understand other chapters such as this sentence: "statement_timestamp() returns the start time of the current statement (more specifically, the time of receipt of the latest command message from the client)." The sentence is from https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/functions-datetime.html#FUNCTIONS-DATETIME-CURRENT. From the same page is this snippet: "start of current statement", in Table 9.33. Date/Time Functions. It seems 'statement' can mean different things such as 'one operation, such as a SELECT statement', but it can also mean 'all operations since the last command message from the client, which can be several SELECTs'. Thank you Peter
