Re: session time

If you want it by a query, then log_prefix is not going to help :-(

It could perhaps be added as a column to pg_stat_activity? (Which has query_start at the moment, could also have session_start) Not having looked into the details, that could probably be added fairly easy.

But I assume it's too late to get something like that into 7.5, even if it's really small :-( Or?
