I don't think that's possible here. The check on datallowconn is done before a backend calls pgstat_bestart() which would make its backend entry reported to pg_stat_activity. So there is no window where a backend would be in pg_stat_activity if this check fails. > We could just drop this test, reasoning that the appearance of > the error message is sufficient evidence that the right thing > happened.

Saying that, I'm OK with just dropping this query, as it could also be possible that one decides that calling pgstat_bestart() before the datallowconn check is a good idea for a reason or another. -- Michael
