Re: user connection properties

Hi Kevin,
I'm on with your comments , but I don't think optional is the right
word,.
This information should be collected in one of the internal table,
next to client's host ip and user name . You can get this from JDBC
connection property or any other programing language user connection
properties.This is a "must feature" when you need to know what's been
running in your database server and wish to make some SQL tunning.
BTW: I don't know to much about PG 's " feature wish list " , if we
get more feedback from some of the Gurus we can add this one to the
list.
