No objections here. Especially at the absence of better tools ;-) > Ask google for "SQL Server Profiler", btw. Ask people what they need... People do need debugging and profiling. But it does not automatically mean they need it via tracing, even if they would say it this way (just because they cannot think of anything else). > I don't say that we don't need true debugger\profiler, no.

But I'm quite skeptic about the gain the PSQL statement level tracing introduces, unless you plan to have future debugging/profiling tools being based on (and extending) user trace sessions -- but this is what surely deserves a public discussion.
