Hey List,
kind of a simple question :

I'm using the postgis_topology extension,
and I'm trying to figure where the slowness comes from when importing data.

It involves plpgsql function calling other plpgsql functions, insert,
update, etc etc.

I know I can use explain analyze for one querry, but I don't know how to
get details of how much time takes each sub-function called by a main
function.

Thus it is very difficult to guess where is the bottleneck.

Thanks ,cheers,

Rémi-C

You could use auto_explain module to get info you are looking for. It'll be logged in pg_log.
Read about it in the docs:

Shameless plug, but here is how I do it:
