It's a real problem. I saw this pattern more than once already.
The people have several schemas with identical data structures as a
preparation to eventual migration of the schema to its own server in the
cloud.
So you have ten schemas, one generic user from connection pool and
pg_stat_statements is useless to identify a performance problem for a
schema.
You see ten different records with the different queryid and identical
query text, you see that one record indicates a performance issue
for this query in one particular schema, and you can't say what schema
it is. A report that groups queries by the text may hide this problem
altogether
because in average the statistics are OK.
I hoped that it would be possible to reassemble the query text after
parsing where the names were already uniquely resolved.
Thank you,
