In 8.2 or later it should do so; in prior versions there could be some lag involved. Another thing to keep in mind is that backends like to cache copies of the pg_stat_activity view --- if you are watching it to see what is happening, your view is only current as of the start of your current transaction. Or you can do pgstat_clear_snapshot() to force collection of new info. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
