Maybe I'm not interpreting it correctly.
I was assuming that if the view reported a row then that row was still
"happening".
Yes, the state is "idle", and the command is "COMMIT".
But if the COMMIT has completed then the process should finish and the
row not be present?
So is what you are suggesting that in my case I'm using a connection
pool, and the COMMIT has completed successfully, the connection released
back to the pool, but not yet closed, so that process is still running?
