Checking which queries are active or blocked

Here, we will show you how to find out whether a query is running or waiting for another query.

Getting ready

Using the predefined (default) pg_monitor role, you will have full access to monitoring information.

How to do it…

Follow these steps to check if a query is waiting for another query:

  1. Run the following query:
    SELECT datname, usename, wait_event_type, wait_event, backend_type, query
    FROM pg_stat_activity
    WHERE wait_event_type IS NOT NULL
    AND wait_event_type NOT IN ('Activity', 'Client');
  2. You will receive the following output:
    -[ RECORD 1 ]---+-----------------
    datname         | postgres
    usename         | gianni
    wait_event_type | Lock
    wait_event      | relation
    backend_type    | client backend
    query   ...
