Right, that's not supported right now, although given that the superuser is primarily for performance considerations (right?), perhaps we should find some way of exposing this. > It would help even more if you can get that information while the server is > misbehaving, rather than when it is not. Does Heroku support auto_explain? We used to have some support for it, but given that all the tunables there are superuser-only, we found it wasn't very useful in its current form and took it out. Same as above: we probably should find a way of exposing the tunables here to a less-trusted user. It'd be great to have more granularity in some of these permissions. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
