Hallo pgsql-sql(at)postgresql(dot)org,

I'm looking for a way to display the active querys of postgres. The
mysql way is a 'show [full] processlist'.

After I've read http://pgsqld.active-venture.com/monitoring-stats.html I
set STATS_COMMAND_STRING, STATS_BLOCK_LEVEL, STATS_ROW_LEVEL and
STATS_START_COLLECTOR to 'true'.

Then I executed the query from the bottom of the page:

> SELECT pg_stat_get_backend_pid(S.backendid) AS procpid,
> pg_stat_get_backend_activity(S.backendid) AS current_query
> FROM (SELECT pg_stat_get_backend_idset() AS backendid) AS S;

The result was:

procpid | current_query
---------+---------------
1367 |
27387 |
930 |
28425 | <IDLE>
(4 rows)

Why there isn't any query in the 'current_query' row? Calling the query
multiple times just changes the PID (sometimes) but 'current_query' was
always empty. How do I show up the a list of querys that will be
processed right in this moment?

P.S: I'm using postgresql 7.4.7 and I was logged I as 'postgres'.
