Thread: Types of blocks in the `pg_stat_statements`

Types of blocks in the `pg_stat_statements`

Greetings.

I cannot get understanding about what different types of blocks means here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/pgstatstatements.html


I assume, that `shared` are blocks from the `shared_buffers`
and `temp` are blocks used by temporary files (absence of `dirtied` and `hit` also speaks for this).

But what `local` blocks mean?

This is for the local buffer for temporary objects (temporary tables and indexes), which you can set the size with temp_buffers.
