It's a horrible thing and that isn't a good reason- if my database isn't accepting connections, I probably don't care one bit how bloated a table is. Indeed, I care *more* that I'm out of connections and would want to know that ASAP. That said, I'm not against the general idea that the 'reserved' connections be opened up to roles beyond superuser (or have some kind of priority system, etc), but that's an independent concern and should not be a justification for making monitoring require superuser privs. Thanks, Stephen
