Hello Pavel,
This is not a simple question. Personally I prefer to show this info every
time, although it can be redundant. Just for check and for more simple
automatic processing.
When I run pgbench, I usually work with more releases together, so the
server version is important info.
Ok. Yes.
2. can ve generate some output in structured format - XML, JSON ?
It is obviously possible, but that would mean some code. ISTM that the
various outputs are easy enough to parse and convert to anything without
needing a special format? Is there some particular part you have in mind?
I thought about something what I can simply import to Postgres or to R.
But maybe XML or JSON is a bad idea.
What about CSV? Any run can produce one row.
Yep, CSV is simple and nice. It depends on what information you would
like. For instance for progress report (-P 1) or logs/sampling (-l) would
be relevant candidates for CSV. Not so much for the final report, though.
