For very long time plans with parallel execution showed bogus values. Not any more.

Changes on explain.depesz.com
Just pushed new version of explain.depesz.com site.
Changes:
More functions for json/yaml/xml plans on explain.depesz.com
Added two new functions, which basically work only for JSON / YAML / XML plans.
First – the view of source explain is now syntax highlighted. Just click source button on one of these to see:
Next additon is text tab, which shows the same explain but converted to text-format.
Hope you'll find it useful.
New Pg::Explain and explain.depesz.com
Just now pushed new version of Pg::Explain Perl library that is handling parsing for explain.depesz.com.
There have been many changes, but the short summary is:
- Fix display of heap fetches from json (https://gitlab.com/depesz/explain.depesz.com/issues/15)
- Move global data (planning/execution/total time, trigger info) from top_node to explain object itself
- Add method to easily get real total, wall-clock, runtime of query.
- Add Pg::Explain::Analyzer, so far it can extract node types and their “paths"
- Add scripts to run perltidy, start development tmux env, and explain schema dumper
- Fix handling of parallel queries (hopefully)
- Remove edge-case deep recursion error
- Speed optimization for large explains
Hopefully it will not break anything for you 🙂
And as a final note: explain.depesz.com has been used to add almost 740kplans (out of which 120k were deleted). Currently database contains over 311k public (visible in history), not deleted, plans.
Changes on explain.depesz.com
Recently got two bug reports:
- plans with “COSTS OFF" do not parse, and error out (bugreport by Marc Dean Jr)
- WorkTable Scan is not properly parsed (bugreport by Ivan Vergiliev)
Additionally, I was kinda upset because plans that include trigger calls did not display properly.
All of this has been fixed today:
Fix for parallel scans on explain.depesz.com
On Friday, Zr40 reported on irc that explain.depesz.com doesn't show table/index names for Parallel Seq Scan nodes.
Checked it and found couple of other omissions of the same kind with other Parallel* scans.
Fixed (I hope) all of them in:
The change is not really big, but just figured I'll let you know.
Changes on explain.depesz.com
Bricklen Anderson reported a problem with explains that were using parallel processing.
TL;DR: in case of parallel plans make “inclusive" and “exclusive" be wall-clock times, and not “how much time CPU did spend on it".
explain.depesz.com, paste.depesz.com – TOR announcement and some updates
I assume that you're familiar with explain.depesz.com and paste.depesz.com services.
From today they are also available as services in TOR, using respectively: explain4pg4j5wbw.onion and paste4sql64vzyry.onion (of course you need to have TOR Browser or some other way to browse darknet).
Why I did that? Well, I believe that TOR is one of the greatest inventions ever, and I'd like to do something so that it will be less associated with drugs, porn, or other illegal activities. Don't realistically think that there will be many people using TOR to access my Pg-related services, but it is a thing that I could have done, so I did it.
While working on it, I also updated pgFormatter code under paste-site to newest version.

New change on explain.depesz.com
Some (long) time ago, someone on irc suggested that I add option to keep track of optimizations of queries.
Sorry, I forgot your name, and the mails disappeared in some crash.
Anyway – right now, when you are on some plan page, you can press “Add optimization" button, and you will be redirected to index page, but when you will add plan there, it will be understood to be plan from optimization of the query. Like this one.
You can have any number of optimizations per plan, and when viewing plan that has optimizations, or is an optimization of earlier plan – you will see this above plan table.
Whether you'll use it – it's up to you. Someone wanted it, and it looked like sensible thing to add, so there it is 🙂
A way to share SQL queries – paste.depesz.com
Long time ago I wrote first version of explain.depesz.com. Since then I gradually improve it. But, what was lacking was a way to paste queries too – explain.depesz.com handles explains, but not plain queries.
Now this has changed. I created new site: paste.depesz.com which allows for sharing queries.
Thanks to pgFormatter it also does query pretty-printing (which is not something readily available on other paste sites).
Obviously, code to the site is publicly available in GitHub repo.
Now, goes my request – if you have designer skills, I would greatly appreciate someone that could make the site nicer (prettier, more responsive). My CSS/JS knowledge is pretty limited, and I'm happy anyway about what I did with the look right now, but if you could make it nicer/prettier, that would be amazing.
Have fun, and if you have any feature requests, please post them in here…
