Hello,

I'm looking at my pg_stat_activity and trying to figure out what is causing some of these processes.  I'm using this query:

SELECT pid, wait_event, state_change, backend_start, xact_start, query_start, state_change - query_start, query from pg_stat_activity where datname= 'my_database' and state in ('idle', 'idle in transaction', 'idle in transaction (aborted)', 'disabled');


and what I see is the same PID which have been around for a while in the same query (COMMIT), but the query_start and state_change are updated and close to each other:

  pid  | wait_event |         state_change          |         backend_start         | xact_start |          query_start          |    ?column?     | query

So can we close this thread because it's been around since 1 AM and the last query is always "COMMIT"?  Or should we keep it open because the query_start keeps updating, and the state_change is basically keeping up with query_start?

There is no significant harm in having this thread. Check why the client is not disconnecting - it may have a good reason.
