Doesn't handle multiline /* comments. 2. Does wrong thing if more than one /* comment appears on one line. (You could improve that by using .*? instead of .+, but then it'd do the wrong thing with nested /* comments.) 3. Breaks things if either -- or /* appear inside a string literal, double-quoted identifier, or $$ literal. I'm not at all sure that it's possible to handle this requirement 100% correctly with regexes; they're unable to do context-sensitive processing. But so far as pg_stat_statements is concerned, why would you need to do this at all? The duplicate-query elimination it does should be insensitive to comments already. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
