Re: return text from explain

[Виктор Егоров <vyegorov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hope this helps:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION explain(in_sql text) RETURNS TABLE(explain_line text) AS $explain$

BEGIN

    RETURN QUERY EXECUTE 'EXPLAIN '||in_sql;

END;

$explain$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

SELECT * FROM explain('SELECT * FROM pg_locks');
