Hi,

I mean the transactions over time interval. Say the current db
transactions per minute.

Thanks
Marco

What transaction rate? The current rate over some time interval?
The maximum possible rate for a particular set of statements? What are
you trying to measure?

See the "Monitoring Database Activity" chapter in the documentation:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/i...onitoring.html

One way would be to query pg_stat_database periodically and track
how fast xact_commit and xact_rollback are changing. With monitoring
software like MRTG you could write a script to query pg_stat_database
and let the monitor track the rate of change and draw activity graphs.

Pgfouine generates usage reports but I haven't used it so I don't
know anything about it other than what its web site says. See
"Sample reports" at the following link:
