I worked around to it, I found I can use ActivePortal->sourceText in some
situations. But there are still some problems:
- SQL functions:
They don't modify ActivePortal->sourceText, but we could get the
source from SQLFunctionCache->src. If it is required, we might
need to add a new field in QueryDesc and copy the src to the field.
- Multiple queries:
Query text is not divided into each query.
Only the original combined text is available.
- RULEs:
There are similar issues with multiple queries.
Also, they don't have original query texts.
The same can be said for planner_hook(). Only available query text is
debug_query_string in it, and it is the top-level query. We cannot use
the actual SQL text which the Query object comes from. The treu query
text might be SQL functions used in the top-level query, a part of multiple
queries, or another query rewritten by RULE.
For these reasons, now I'm thinking to collect only top-query level
statistics, not per-planner+executor level statistics. i.e, when we
receive a multiple query "SELECT 1; SELECT 2;", pg_stat_statements uses
the original combined text as a key. Comsumed resource associated with
the key is sum of resources used in both "SELECT 1" and "SELECT 2".

Yeah, and also ExecutorRewind() hook. There are 4 interface functions in
executor. My addin only needs Run hook because it doesn't modify the actual
behavior of executor. However, when someone hope to replace the behavior,
they need all of the hooks. (Is multi-threaded executor project still alive?)
How about adding new Executor class
and ExecutorStart() returns an instance of Executor?
typedef struct Executor
{
ExecutorRunFunc run;
ExecutorEndFunc end;
ExecutorRewindFunc rewind;
/* there might be private fields. */
} Executor;
Executor *e = ExecutorStart_hook(...);
ExecutorRun(e, ...) => { e->run(e, ...); }
ExecutorEnd(e, ...) => { e->end(e, ...); }
It could be make APIs cleaner because QueryDesc has 3 fields only for
executor (tupDesc, estate, planstate). We can move those fields to
Executor's private fields. Is this modification acceptable?
