Hi,

Is there a method to obtain the query's runtime from any of the pg_*
tables?

No.  You can use log_durations and log_statement for that.  We don't
store that info in tables.

Right now, I'm only seeing the backend_start_time (from
pg_stat_activity) (and I'm also not sure how to interpret this.

This is the time that the session was started.  Nothing to do with the
query itself.

query_start does, however, give you the time that the query started. I use something like

SELECT procpid, client_addr, to_char(now() - query_start, 'DD HH24:MI:SS') as query_time, current_query
FROM pg_stat_activity
ORDER BY query_time DESC;

To get a snapshot view of what's currently running in our databases.
