How to show what is running in postgres?
Posted on August 20th, 2008 by Fred
Edit your postgres.conf and add or change this:
stats_start_collector = true (true for the statistics collector)
stats_command_string = true (It enables monitoring of the current command being executed by any server process.The statistics collector subprocess need not be running to enable this feature.)
Restart postgres:
/etc/init.d/postgresql restart
the following query will show currently running queries:
psql -U postgres template1 -c “select * from pg_stat_activity” (only as user “postgres”)
Or in pgadmin:
select * from pg_stat_activity
