No: the code is deliberately designed to prevent that, on the grounds that it'd be a security flaw (non-superusers should not be allowed to hide their activities from the DBA). There's nothing to stop you from making a private version with stats_row_level downgraded to an ordinary unprotected SET variable, though, if that seems more appropriate to your needs. See its entry in src/backend/utils/misc/guc.c and change it from SUSET to USERSET category (from memory; check spelling in src/include/utils/guc.h). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
