Our Query currently has space for a 32-bit queryId, but that seems reasonably likely to result in collisions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Probability_table If you have as many as 50,000 queries, there's a 25% probability of having at least one collision; that doesn't seem particularly unrealistic. Obviously, normalization reduces the number of distinct queries a lot, but if queries are dynamically generated you might still have quite a few of them. How about widening the value to uint64? -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
