Re: [PATCH v2] Progress command to monitor progression of long running SQL queries

That's good point.

I will probably convert the new command to a SQL function.

I was fumbling between a table or a SQL function. Oracle uses
v$session_longops to track progression of long running SQL queries which
have run for more than 6 seconds.
But a function is much better to provide parameters such as the backend pid
and a format specification for the output.
