hi.
for all the progress report views[1],
we can add a timestamptz column, maybe named as query_start.
People generally want to track the progress of operations and the time spent on
them. While pg_stat_activity already provides column query_start, including
query_start in pg_stat_get_progress_info would eliminate the need
for JOIN with pg_stat_activity in some cases.
Overall it will make the progress report monitoring more convenient, IMHO.
as of implementation: we can occupy pg_stat_get_progress_info last parameter
param20 for column query_start.
what do you think?
