I was actually thinking exactly the opposite. pg_stat_activity viewed in pgadmin GUI is going to format the table perfectly fine, but with everthing on one line it will be next to impossible to understand anything complex. I would imagine psql will also be easier to read using human placed \n's rather than random ones at the terminal width. Perhaps the environment I work in isn't the normal case, but usually if I'm trying to track something down, it's the complex 10 table join, multi-subselect report style query that someone in account management just happens to be running but poorly formed. > It is hard to understand how a tool would grab the query from the above > log except to look for another TAG: entry and stop there. Yup.. Same way you group entries by PID, then reset the PID the next time you see a new connection formed with it.
