This could be a problem if we showed the last plan in this view. I
think "last_plan_type" would be better.

Using swith-case prevents future additional type (if any) from being
unhandled.  I think we are recommending that as a convension.

Thanks for your reviewing!

I've attached a patch that reflects your comments.

Thanks for the patch! Here are the comments.

Thanks for your review!

+        Number of times generic plan was choosen
+        Number of times custom plan was choosen

Typo: "choosen" should be "chosen"?

Thanks, fixed them.

Could you tell me how this information is expected to be used?
I think that generic_plans and custom_plans are useful when investigating
the cause of performance drop by cached plan mode. But I failed to get
how much useful last_plan_type is.

This may be an exceptional case, but I once had a case needed
to ensure whether generic or custom plan was chosen for specific
queries in a development environment.

In your case, probably you had to ensure that the last multiple (or every)
executions chose generic or custom plan? If yes, I'm afraid that displaying
only the last plan mode is not enough for your case. No?
So it seems better to check generic_plans or custom_plans columns in the
view rather than last_plan_type even in your case. Thought?

Yeah, I now feel last_plan is not so necessary and only the numbers of
generic/custom plan is enough.

If there are no objections, I'm going to remove this column and related codes.

As mentioned, I removed last_plan column.

Thanks for updating the patch! It basically looks good to me.

I have one comment; you added the regression tests for generic and
custom plans into prepare.sql. But the similar tests already exist in
plancache.sql. So isn't it better to add the tests for generic_plans and
custom_plans columns, into plancache.sql?
