[PATCH v1 02/10] Adding the pg_stat_backend view 156+ messages / 1 participants [nested] [flat]
* [PATCH v1 02/10] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of sequential scans initiated on tables and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] Adding the pg_stat_backend view @ 2025-08-09 14:22 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-08-09 14:22 UTC (permalink / raw) This view displays one row per server process, showing statistics related to the current activity of that process. It currently displays the pid, the number of XIDs generated, the number of commits, the number of rollbacks and the time at which these statistics were last reset. It's built on top of a new function (pg_stat_get_backend_statistics()). The idea is the same as pg_stat_activity and pg_stat_get_activity(). Adding documentation and tests.

* [PATCH v20 3/3] Add Assert guard to detect permission check before lock regressions @ 2026-04-27 14:23 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 156+ messages in thread From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-04-27 14:23 UTC (permalink / raw) Add instrumentation under USE_ASSERT_CHECKING to detect cases where object_aclcheck() is called on a referenced object before a lock is held on it, which would widen the TOCTOU window between the permission check and the dependency recording. In recordMultipleDependencies() and changeDependencyFor(), for each referenced object that had a permission check earlier in the same statement, assert that a lock is already held. This catches any future code that adds a permission check on a referenced object without first acquiring a lock. The tracking records each (classId, objectId, mode) from object_aclcheck() and pg_class_aclcheck(), filtering to only dependency-relevant ACL modes (ACL_CREATE, ACL_USAGE on non namespaces, ACL_EXECUTE, ACL_TRIGGER, ACL_REFERENCES). Tracking resets at each ProcessUtility() call. The tracking array is capped at 1024 entries per statement, which is sufficient for any practical DDL command.
