Hi all, As far as I understand, in the upcoming version 13, information about buffers used during planning is now available in the explain plan.
[…] Planning Time: 0.203 ms Buffers: shared hit=14 […] In the JSON format, the data structure is a bit different: […] "Planning": { "Planning Time": 0.533, "Shared Hit Blocks": 14, "Shared Read Blocks": 0, "Shared Dirtied Blocks": 0, "Shared Written Blocks": 0, "Local Hit Blocks": 0, "Local Read Blocks": 0, "Local Dirtied Blocks": 0, "Local Written Blocks": 0, "Temp Read Blocks": 0, "Temp Written Blocks": 0 }, […] For a matter of consistency, I wonder if it would be possible to format it like the following: […] Planning: Planning Time: 0.203 ms Buffers: shared hit=14 […] Note: a similar way to format information is already used for JIT. […] JIT: Functions: 3 Options: Inlining false, Optimization false, Expressions true, Deforming true Timing: Generation 0.340 ms, Inlining 0.000 ms, Optimization 0.168 ms, Emission 1.907 ms, Total 2.414 ms […] Regards, Pierre
