Ugh. I completely lost track of this email. I've applied the change suggested above with another slight reordering of the words: + (always true if <varname>pg_stat_statements.track</varname> is set to + <literal>top</literal>) > I'm fine with the original wording by Julien. > Of course, the parameter name should be corrected as you did, though. > > Or what about the following? > > True if the query was executed as a top level statement > (this can be <literal>false</literal> only if > <varname>pg_stat_statements.track</varname> is set to > <literal>all</literal> and nested statements are also tracked) I found my suggestion, once the final reordering of words was done, easier to parse. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/
