Hi All,
I have been looking at memory consumed when planning a partitionwise join
[1], [2] and [3]. I am using the attached patch to measure the memory
consumption. The patch has been useful to detect an increased memory
consumption in other patches e.g. [4] and [5]. The patch looks useful by
itself. So I propose this enhancement in EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

Subject: [PATCH] Report memory used for planning a query in EXPLAIN ANALYZE

The memory used in the CurrentMemoryContext and its children is noted
before and after calling pg_plan_query() from ExplainOneQuery(). The
difference in the two values is reported as the memory consumed while
planning the query. This may not account for the memory allocated in
memory contexts which are not children of CurrentMemoryContext when
calling pg_plan_query(). These contexts are usually other long lived
contexts, e.g.  CacheMemoryContext, which are shared by all the queries
run in a session. The consumption in those can not be attributed only to
a given query and hence should not be reported any way.

The memory consumption is reported as "Planning Memory" property in
EXPLAIN ANALYZE output.
