In linux you can look at the memory usage for a particular backend in
/proc/[pid]/smaps. Get the pid with pg_backend_pid() or from
pg_stat_activity.

Hi Clinton,

Thank you for your response. I check the article (http://www.depesz.com/2012/06/09/how-much-ram-is-postgresql-using/)
andit seems to work with general process as well.  
However does it have anyway to calculate the memory used by single query, not the whole postgresql process?

Thanks,
Minh
