If only you read that section on tracers until the end, you would have
had your answer. Quoting Section 3.13, "Tracing SQL Statement Execution":

"Note also that you can only set a database-specific tracer object using a
database-specific database instance, for example:"

pgsql_tracer tracer;

odb::database& db = ...;
db.tracer (tracer); // Compile error.

odb::pgsql::database& db = ...;
db.tracer (tracer); // Ok.
