Server Configuration
- Sets the directory to store temporary statistics data in. This can be a
- path relative to the data directory or an absolute path. The default is
- pg_stat_tmp. Pointing this at a RAM based filesystem
- will decrease physical I/O requirements and can lead to increased
- performance. If this parameter is changed when the system is running,
- there is a small window of time until the new file has been written
- during which the statistics functions might return no information.
