I’ve been looking for this on postgres too. Does Postgres have something similar to Oracle’s v$session_longops? It gives info on total unit of work, units done so far, last update time, and time remaining etc, and I found it valuable in providing an estimate to how long a certain query would keep running and whether or not to kill it if applicable. This should be relatively easy to implement in postgres too if it is not available yet?
Thanks,
Patricia

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a way to predict query runtime (I don't need to be extremely precise). I've been reading some papers about it, and people are using machine learning to do so. For the feature vector, they use what the DBMS's query planner provide, such as operators and their cost. The thing is that I haven't found any work using PostgreSQL, so I'm struggling to adapt it.
My question is if anyone is aware of a work that uses machine learning and PostgreSQL to predict query runtime, or maybe some other method to perform this.
Can you share some links to the papers you are referring to (assuming these are publicly available)?
