Thanks for your reviewing, Alex. I applied your comments to my patch. - auto_explain.patch : patch against HEAD - auto_explain.tgz : contrib module - autoexplain.sgml : documentation

Now it is done with DefineCustomVariable(type, variable) and keep
existing functions as-is for backward compatibility.
Some people will be happy if the functions are documented,
but we need to define 'stable-internal-functions' between
SPI (stable expoted functions) and unstable internal functions.

Hmm, I agree that hiding all messages is not good. I removed it.
If some people need it, we can reconsider it in a separated discussion.

I wanted to avoid modifying core codes as far as possible,
but I see it was ugly. Now I added 'force_instrument' global
variable as a hook for CreateQueryDesc.

Almost logging options in postgres are only for superusers. So I think
auto_explain options should not be modified by non-superusers, too.
If you want to permit usage for users, you can create a security definer
wrapper function to allow it, no?
CREATE FUNCTION set_explain_log_min_duration(text) RETURNS text AS
$$ SELECT set_config('explain.log_min_duration', $1, false); $$
LANGUAGE sql SECURITY DEFINER;
