 <title>pg_stat_statements &mdash; track statistics of SQL planning and execution</title>

 <indexterm zone="pgstatstatements">
  <primary>pg_stat_statements</primary>
 </indexterm>

 <para>
  The <filename>pg_stat_statements</filename> module provides a means for
  tracking planning and execution statistics of all SQL statements executed by
  a server.
 </para>

 <para>
  The module must be loaded by adding <literal>pg_stat_statements</literal> to
  <xref linkend="guc-shared-preload-libraries"/> in
  <filename>postgresql.conf</filename>, because it requires additional shared memory.
  This means that a server restart is needed to add or remove the module.
  In addition, query identifier calculation must be enabled in order for the
  module to be active, which is done automatically if <xref linkend="guc-compute-query-id"/>
  is set to <literal>auto</literal> or <literal>on</literal>, or any third-party
  module that calculates query identifiers is loaded.
 </para>

 <para>
   When <filename>pg_stat_statements</filename> is active, it tracks
   statistics across all databases of the server.  To access and manipulate
   these statistics, the module provides views
   <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> and
   <structname>pg_stat_statements_info</structname>,
   and the utility functions <function>pg_stat_statements_reset</function> and
   <function>pg_stat_statements</function>.  These are not available globally but
   can be enabled for a specific database with
   <command>CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements</command>.
 </para>

 <sect2 id="pgstatstatements-pg-stat-statements">
  <title>The <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> View</title>

  <para>
   The statistics gathered by the module are made available via a
   view named <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname>.  This view
   contains one row for each distinct combination of database ID, user
   ID, query ID and whether it's a top-level statement or not (up to
   the maximum number of distinct statements that the module can track).
   The columns of the view are shown in
   <xref linkend="pgstatstatements-columns"/>.

  <para>
   For security reasons, only superusers and roles with privileges of the
   <literal>pg_read_all_stats</literal> role are allowed to see the SQL text and
   <structfield>queryid</structfield> of queries executed by other users.
   Other users can see the statistics, however, if the view has been installed
   in their database.
  </para>

  <para>
   Plannable queries (that is, <command>SELECT</command>, <command>INSERT</command>,
   <command>UPDATE</command>, <command>DELETE</command>, and <command>MERGE</command>)
   and utility commands are combined into a single
   <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> entry whenever they have identical query
   structures according to an internal hash calculation.  Typically, two
   queries will be considered the same for this purpose if they are
   semantically equivalent except for the values of literal constants
   appearing in the query.
  </para>

  <note>
   <para>
    The following details about constant replacement and
    <structfield>queryid</structfield> only apply when <xref
    linkend="guc-compute-query-id"/> is enabled.  If you use an external
    module instead to compute <structfield>queryid</structfield>, you
    should refer to its documentation for details.
   </para>
  </note>

  <para>
   When a constant's value has been ignored for purposes of matching the query
   to other queries, the constant is replaced by a parameter symbol, such
   as <literal>$1</literal>, in the <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname>
   display.
   The rest of the query text is that of the first query that had the
   particular <structfield>queryid</structfield> hash value associated with the
   <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> entry.
  </para>

  <para>
   Queries on which normalization can be applied may be observed with constant
   values in <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname>, especially when there
   is a high rate of entry deallocations. To reduce the likelihood of this
   happening, consider increasing <varname>pg_stat_statements.max</varname>.
   The <structname>pg_stat_statements_info</structname> view, discussed below
   in <xref linkend="pgstatstatements-pg-stat-statements-info"/>,
   provides statistics about entry deallocations.
  </para>

  <para>
   In some cases, queries with visibly different texts might get merged into a
   single <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> entry.  Normally this will happen
   only for semantically equivalent queries, but there is a small chance of
   hash collisions causing unrelated queries to be merged into one entry.
   (This cannot happen for queries belonging to different users or databases,
   however.)
  </para>

  <para>
   Since the <structfield>queryid</structfield> hash value is computed on the
   post-parse-analysis representation of the queries, the opposite is
   also possible: queries with identical texts might appear as
   separate entries, if they have different meanings as a result of
   factors such as different <varname>search_path</varname> settings.
  </para>

  <para>
   Consumers of <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> may wish to use
   <structfield>queryid</structfield> (perhaps in combination with
   <structfield>dbid</structfield> and <structfield>userid</structfield>) as a more stable
   and reliable identifier for each entry than its query text.
   However, it is important to understand that there are only limited
   guarantees around the stability of the <structfield>queryid</structfield> hash
   value.  Since the identifier is derived from the
   post-parse-analysis tree, its value is a function of, among other
   things, the internal object identifiers appearing in this representation.
   This has some counterintuitive implications.  For example,
   <filename>pg_stat_statements</filename> will consider two apparently-identical
   queries to be distinct, if they reference a table that was dropped
   and recreated between the executions of the two queries.
   The hashing process is also sensitive to differences in
   machine architecture and other facets of the platform.
   Furthermore, it is not safe to assume that <structfield>queryid</structfield>
   will be stable across major versions of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
  </para>

  <para>
   As a rule of thumb, <structfield>queryid</structfield> values can be assumed to be
   stable and comparable only so long as the underlying server version and
   catalog metadata details stay exactly the same.  Two servers
   participating in replication based on physical WAL replay can be expected
   to have identical <structfield>queryid</structfield> values for the same query.
   However, logical replication schemes do not promise to keep replicas
   identical in all relevant details, so <structfield>queryid</structfield> will
   not be a useful identifier for accumulating costs across a set of logical
   replicas.  If in doubt, direct testing is recommended.
  </para>

  <para>
   The parameter symbols used to replace constants in
   representative query texts start from the next number after the
   highest <literal>$</literal><replaceable>n</replaceable> parameter in the original query
   text, or <literal>$1</literal> if there was none.  It's worth noting that in
   some cases there may be hidden parameter symbols that affect this
   numbering.  For example, <application>PL/pgSQL</application> uses hidden parameter
   symbols to insert values of function local variables into queries, so that
   a <application>PL/pgSQL</application> statement like <literal>SELECT i + 1 INTO j</literal>
   would have representative text like <literal>SELECT i + $2</literal>.
  </para>

  <para>
   The representative query texts are kept in an external disk file, and do
   not consume shared memory.  Therefore, even very lengthy query texts can
   be stored successfully.  However, if many long query texts are
   accumulated, the external file might grow unmanageably large.  As a
   recovery method if that happens, <filename>pg_stat_statements</filename> may
   choose to discard the query texts, whereupon all existing entries in
   the <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> view will show
   null <structfield>query</structfield> fields, though the statistics associated with
   each <structfield>queryid</structfield> are preserved.  If this happens, consider
   reducing <varname>pg_stat_statements.max</varname> to prevent

  <para>
   <structfield>plans</structfield> and <structfield>calls</structfield> aren't
   always expected to match because planning and execution statistics are
   updated at their respective end phase, and only for successful operations.
   For example, if a statement is successfully planned but fails during
   the execution phase, only its planning statistics will be updated.
   If planning is skipped because a cached plan is used, only its execution
   statistics will be updated.

      The <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> view is defined in
      terms of a function also named <function>pg_stat_statements</function>.
      It is possible for clients to call
      the <function>pg_stat_statements</function> function directly, and by
      specifying <literal>showtext := false</literal> have query text be
      omitted (that is, the <literal>OUT</literal> argument that corresponds
      to the view's <structfield>query</structfield> column will return nulls).  This
      feature is intended to support external tools that might wish to avoid
      the overhead of repeatedly retrieving query texts of indeterminate
      length.  Such tools can instead cache the first query text observed
      for each entry themselves, since that is
      all <filename>pg_stat_statements</filename> itself does, and then retrieve
      query texts only as needed.  Since the server stores query texts in a
      file, this approach may reduce physical I/O for repeated examination
      of the <structname>pg_stat_statements</structname> data.
