pid

bigint

Process ID of the backend

usesysid

oid

OID of the user logging in to the backend

usename

name

OID of the user logging in to the backend

application_name

text

Name of the application connected to the backend

client_addr

inet

IP address of the client connected to the backend If this column is null, it indicates either that the client is connected via a Unix socket on the server machine or that this is an internal process such as autovacuum.

client_hostname

client_port

integer

TCP port number that the client uses for communication with this backend, or -1 if a Unix socket is used

backend_start

timestamp with time zone

Startup time of the backend process, that is, the time when the client connects to the server.

xact_start

timestamp with time zone

Time when the current transaction was started, or NULL if no transaction is active. If the current query is the first of its transaction, this column is equal to the query_start column.

query_start

timestamp with time zone

Time when the currently active query was started, or if state is not active, when the last query was started

state_change

timestamp with time zone

Time for the last status change

waiting

boolean

Whether the backend is currently waiting on a lock. If it is, its value is true.

enqueue

text

Queuing status of a statement. Its value can be:

  • waiting in queue: The statement is in the queue.
  • waiting in global queue: The statement is in the global queue.
  • waiting in respool queue: The statement is in the resource pool queue.
  • waiting in ccn queue: The job is in the CCN queue.
  • Empty: The statement is running.

state

text

Current overall state of this backend. Its value can be:

  • active: The backend is executing queries.
  • idle: The backend is waiting for new client commands.
  • idle in transaction: The backend is in a transaction, but there is no statement being executed in the transaction.
  • idle in transaction (aborted): The backend is in a transaction, but there are statements failed in the transaction.
  • fastpath function call: The backend is executing a fast-path function.
  • disabled: This state is reported if track_activities is disabled in this backend.
NOTE:

Common users can view only their own session status. The state information of other accounts is empty. For example, after user judy is connected to the database, the state information of user joe and the initial user omm in pg_stat_activity is empty.
