Debugging through the app code can be an endless exercise and logging every statement in postgresql logs is not practical either. If the overhead of fetching the information isn't too big, I think we should consider the subtransaction_count and is_overflowed field as potential candidates for the enhancement of pg_stat_activity.
The overhead of fetching the information is not large, but Justin is
concerned about the effect on the display width. I feel that's kind of
a lost cause because it's so wide already anyway, but I don't see a
reason why we need *two* new columns. Can't we get by with just one?
It could be overflowed true/false, or it could be the number of
subtransaction XIDs but with NULL instead if overflowed.
Do you have a view on this point?
