Pg: Tracing support

[NinaLeven]

Is there any way to shoehorn tracing with ocsql?

If not, do you consider implementing it?

[vmihailenco]

No, using ocsql is not viable. I plan to support https://opentelemetry.io/ once API is a little bit more stable and I have time.

@vmihailenco what is the difference or advantage of opentelementry over something like https://opentracing.io/ ?

[vmihailenco]

My understanding is that opentemetry = opencensus + opentracing. There should be some better explanation at opentelemetry site.

otel is now in beta - https://medium.com/opentelemetry/opentelemetry-is-officially-in-beta-352fa859db10

I'd love to see some form of OTEL support in V10.

It could probably be done fairly easily (at least by not modifying library code) by expanding the use of the query hook system to provide users access to important events like Pre/Post query generation, Pre/Post scan, etc

This should be ready for testing in v10. See https://pg.uptrace.dev/guide/tracing.html
