The pg_stat_statements module provides a means for
  tracking execution statistics of all SQL statements executed by a server.
 
  The module must be loaded by adding pg_stat_statements to
  shared_preload_libraries in
  postgresql.conf, because it requires additional shared memory.
  This means that a server restart is needed to add or remove the module.
 
   When pg_stat_statements is loaded, it tracks
   statistics across all databases of the server.  To access and manipulate
   these statistics, the module provides a view, pg_stat_statements,
   and the utility functions pg_stat_statements_reset and
   pg_stat_statements.  These are not available globally but
   can be enabled for a specific database with
   CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements.
 
pg_stat_statements View
   The statistics gathered by the module are made available via a
   view named pg_stat_statements.  This view
   contains one row for each distinct database ID, user ID and query
   ID (up to the maximum number of distinct statements that the module
   can track).  The columns of the view are shown in
   Table F.21.

   For security reasons, only superusers and members of the
   pg_read_all_stats role are allowed to see the SQL text and
   queryid of queries executed by other users.
   Other users can see the statistics, however, if the view has been installed
   in their database.
  
   Plannable queries (that is, SELECT, INSERT,
   UPDATE, and DELETE) are combined into a single
   pg_stat_statements 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.  Utility commands (that is, all other commands)
   are compared strictly on the basis of their textual query strings, however.
  
   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 $1, in the pg_stat_statements
   display.
   The rest of the query text is that of the first query that had the
   particular queryid hash value associated with the
   pg_stat_statements entry.
  
   In some cases, queries with visibly different texts might get merged into a
   single pg_stat_statements 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.)
  
   Since the queryid 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 search_path settings.
  
   Consumers of pg_stat_statements may wish to use
   queryid (perhaps in combination with
   dbid and userid) 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 queryid 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,
   pg_stat_statements 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 queryid
   will be stable across major versions of PostgreSQL.
  
   As a rule of thumb, queryid 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 queryid values for the same query.
   However, logical replication schemes do not promise to keep replicas
   identical in all relevant details, so queryid will
   not be a useful identifier for accumulating costs across a set of logical
   replicas.  If in doubt, direct testing is recommended.
  
   The parameter symbols used to replace constants in
   representative query texts start from the next number after the
   highest $n parameter in the original query
   text, or $1 if there was none.  It's worth noting that in
   some cases there may be hidden parameter symbols that affect this
   numbering.  For example, PL/pgSQL uses hidden parameter
   symbols to insert values of function local variables into queries, so that
   a PL/pgSQL statement like SELECT i + 1 INTO j
   would have representative text like SELECT i + $2.
  
   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, pg_stat_statements may
   choose to discard the query texts, whereupon all existing entries in
   the pg_stat_statements view will show
   null query fields, though the statistics associated with
   each queryid are preserved.  If this happens, consider
   reducing pg_stat_statements.max to prevent
   recurrences.
  
pg_stat_statements_reset() returns void
     
    
      pg_stat_statements_reset discards all statistics
      gathered so far by pg_stat_statements.
      By default, this function can only be executed by superusers.
     
pg_stat_statements(showtext boolean) returns setof record
     
    
      The pg_stat_statements view is defined in
      terms of a function also named pg_stat_statements.
      It is possible for clients to call
      the pg_stat_statements function directly, and by
      specifying showtext := false have query text be
      omitted (that is, the OUT argument that corresponds
      to the view's query 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 pg_stat_statements 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 pg_stat_statements data.
     
pg_stat_statements.max (integer)
    
      pg_stat_statements.max is the maximum number of
      statements tracked by the module (i.e., the maximum number of rows
      in the pg_stat_statements view).  If more distinct
      statements than that are observed, information about the least-executed
      statements is discarded.
      The default value is 5000.
      This parameter can only be set at server start.
     
pg_stat_statements.track (enum)
    
      pg_stat_statements.track controls which statements
      are counted by the module.
      Specify top to track top-level statements (those issued
      directly by clients), all to also track nested statements
      (such as statements invoked within functions), or none to
      disable statement statistics collection.
      The default value is top.
      Only superusers can change this setting.
     
pg_stat_statements.track_utility (boolean)
    
      pg_stat_statements.track_utility controls whether
      utility commands are tracked by the module.  Utility commands are
      all those other than SELECT, INSERT,
      UPDATE and DELETE.
      The default value is on.
      Only superusers can change this setting.
     
pg_stat_statements.save (boolean)
    
      pg_stat_statements.save specifies whether to
      save statement statistics across server shutdowns.
      If it is off then statistics are not saved at
      shutdown nor reloaded at server start.
      The default value is on.
      This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf
      file or on the server command line.
     
   The module requires additional shared memory proportional to
   pg_stat_statements.max.  Note that this
   memory is consumed whenever the module is loaded, even if
   pg_stat_statements.track is set to none.
  
   These parameters must be set in postgresql.conf.
   Typical usage might be:
# postgresql.conf shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements' pg_stat_statements.max = 10000 pg_stat_statements.track = all
bench=# SELECT pg_stat_statements_reset();
$ pgbench -i bench
$ pgbench -c10 -t300 bench
bench=# \x
bench=# SELECT query, calls, total_time, rows, 100.0 * shared_blks_hit /
               nullif(shared_blks_hit + shared_blks_read, 0) AS hit_percent
          FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY total_time DESC LIMIT 5;
