Query to pg_stat_activity

[Carmen Gloria Sepulveda Dedes]

Hello.

I want to query pg_stat_activity to see the current_query field. I do:

mdbs=# select current_user;
current_user
--------------
postgres
(1 row)

mdbs=# select * from pg_stat_activity;
datid | datname | procpid | usesysid | usename | current_query
-------+---------+---------+----------+----------------+---------------
16976 | mdbs | 8537 | 121 | mdbs_app_owner |
16976 | mdbs | 12378 | 121 | mdbs_app_owner |
16976 | mdbs | 14375 | 1 | postgres |
16976 | mdbs | 14337 | 121 | mdbs_app_owner |

but, "current_query" is null. Why?

Thanks.

Most likely, you haven't enabled gathering of command line statistics.
See postgresql.conf.
