pg_stat_activity
The view pg_stat_activity shows one row per server process with details about the associated user session and query. The columns that report data on the current query are available unless the parameter stats_command_string has been turned off. Furthermore, these columns are only visible if the user examining the view is a superuser or the same as the user owning the process being reported on.
The maximum length of the query text string stored in the column query can be controlled with the server configuration parameter track_activity_query_size.
