I wasn't suggesting removing the ExplainBeginOutput call, but more like ExplainBeginOutput(&es); + ExplainOpenGroup(...); ExplainQueryText(&es, queryDesc); ExplainPrintPlan(&es, queryDesc); + ExplainCloseGroup(...); ExplainEndOutput(&es); Details still TBD; the point is just that it's not clear to me why auto_explain should need a formatting concept that doesn't already exist within explain.c. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
