Re: How to identify which query is running - reg.

Dear Richard,
Thankyou for you immediate reply, I did set
the stats_command_string=true and tried select * from pg_stat_activity;
It gave me the desired result. In the mean while you had mentioned
about reading the monitoring activity chapter. Please tell me where I
could find it ( the website address). Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
Shan.
