Hi,
Thanks for updating the patch and here are some comments:
'path' column of pg_get_process_memory_contexts() begins with 0, but
that column of pg_backend_memory_contexts view begins with 1:
=# select path FROM pg_get_process_memory_contexts('20271', false);
path
-------
{0}
{0,1}
{0,2}
..
=# select path from pg_backend_memory_contexts;
path
-------
{1}
{1,2}
{1,3}
..asdf asdf
Would it be better to begin with 1 to make them consistent?
pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() does not allow non-superusers to
execute by default since it can peek at other session information.
pg_get_process_memory_contexts() does not have this restriction, but
wouldn't it be necessary?
When the target pid is the local backend, the HINT suggests using
pg_get_backend_memory_contexts(), but this function is not described in
the manual.
How about suggesting pg_backend_memory_contexts view instead?
=# select pg_get_process_memory_contexts('27041', false);
WARNING: cannot return statistics for local backend
HINT: Use pg_get_backend_memory_contexts instead
There are no explanations about 'num_agg_contexts', but I thought the
explanation like below would be useful.
I have added this information as a column named "num_agg_contexts",
which indicates
the number of contexts whose statistics have been aggregated/added for
a particular output.
