Обсуждение: How can one see what queries are running withing a postgres instance?

Hi!

I'd like to know if there is a way to see what queries are running
within a certain postgres instance and how much resources (cpu/memory)
etc. they are using. Right now it's impossible to see what is happening
within postgres when it's binaries are using 100% CPU.

In Sybase there is a command which let's you view what 'processes' are
running within the server and how much cpu (according to Sybase) they
are using. It also provides you with a stored procedure to kill off some
bad behaving queries. How can one do this within postgres?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

    Pascal

Let see in contrib/ the application pg_who ... you will see the process, the
queries, and the CPU ... ;o)

Sorry It's not in the contrib folder of PostgreSQL ... but you will find it on
gborg.postgresql.org !

Even easier:

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity;

As a superuser.

But note you must enable stats_command_string to make this very useful.

select * from pg_stat_activity.  If you want to see the command that was
run, you will need to turn on stats_command_string = true in
postgresql.conf and re-start server.  PID shows up, so you can kill bad
queries from terminal and see CUP % in top

That works as needed!
