Re: database session variables

It is in the Statistics Collector section of the 7.2.1 documentation
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?monitoring-stats.html

But I'm a bit of a newbie at PostgreSQL and don't know how to install this
library in the database or access it if it is already installed. Do you
know how?

Cheers,
Mark
