You may query the system view, pg_stat_activity to check out the current
SQL statements running. To track down executed SQL statements into a
physical log file, you may want to enable statement logging. For more
details on that, check out:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/runtime-config-logging.html
 
Once you capture your SQL statement, you can run "explain" on it to
check out its execution plan.

Subject: [ADMIN] Monitoring PostgreSQL Process


I have a couple processes/connections to one of our databases that
appears to be eating up most of the CPU and we are trying to determine
what these processes are doing that is taking so much CPU time.

Is there a way to monitor the SQL being run for a specific
connection/process? 

We are using PostgreSQL 8.1.5 on CentOS Linux.

Thanks,
Aaron
