track_commit_timestamp & using Neon with SpiceDB
I would like to use Neon with SpiceDB so I can have Google Zanzibar like capabilities in my SaaS. However in order to use the Watch API with SpiceDB (allowing me to subscribe to changes in the system). It seems that I am not able to set this setting. It also seems that this setting is turned off in Neon. Is there a way to have it turned on?

As I understand it, you would need to enable
ALTER SYSTEM SET track_commit_timestamp = on;, which requires Postgres superuser privileges, which Neon does not support. If you're on a paid account, your best option is to open a support ticket to explore whether this setting could be enabled for your Neon project. It may not be possible. There's likely a good reason we don't support it out of the box.
