Re: Getting

Of course you can also see what the query plan will be without having to run the query through a standard explain query:

Hello,
I am a newb in Postgres coming from Oracle. Does anyone know if it's possible to see the plan being executed by Postgres for an active sql statement (from pg_stat_activity). This is to be able to troubleshoot poor performing ones and in Oracle we are able to retrieve such a plan.
Additionally, how do I see the actual sql statement that shows as "<unnamed portal x>".
Thanks so much for any advice you all may have.

Welcome...!!!

You need to use additional module to write query plan in logs i.e., AUTO_EXPLAIN.
