I'm relatively new to Postgres and just starting to look at starting
to look at what we might do with it for handling large genomic
datasets. I've used Toad for Oracle to have a look at whats going on
inside long running Oracle queries. Knowing that a particular step is
doing a particular activity is useful for diagnostics as well as being
assured that you actually are making forward progress. IMO any
diagnostics you can provide for a low cost are useful. The more
detail, the better. "Step 1 of 10" is good, "80% complete on step 1
of 10" is better. "80% complete on step 1, 10% complete on 10 steps"
is even better.
