There is a postgres 9 with database AAA that is used by my application. I use pgadmin 4 to manage it manually.
I would like to check what queries are executed by this application on database AAA in real time.
I did a research about monitoring options in pgadmin in vain.
Is is possible to do that by using just pgadmin4? Or is it necessary to use another tool (if yes - what is he name of this tool)?
When I point pgAdmin4 at a 9.6 server, I see a dashboard by default which shows every session (done by querying pg_stat_activity). You can then drill down in a session to see the query. If a query last for less time than the monitoring interval, then you might not see it if the sample is taken at the wrong time.
If that isn't acceptable, then you should probably use a logging solution (like log_statemnt='all') or maybe the pg_stat_statements extension, rather than sample-based monitoring. pg_stat_statements doesn't integrate with the dashboard in pgAdmin4, but you can select from the view from an SQL window just like you can run any other SQL. I don't believe pgAdmin4 offers a built-in way to monitor the database server's log files, the way pgAdmin3 did.

Pg_stats_actvity is used in pgadmin 4 but it give only current queries.
And also checked on azure portal for logs in server logs there can't see the logs for queries.
If anyone know help on this it is azure postgresql server.
Need Queries for one perticular database.
I tried below query in pgadmin 4
Select * from pg_stats_activity
It is azure postgresql single server i checked logs and diagnostics.
Also tried explain analyse.

You have several options in Postgres to capture queries.
You've already found that pg_stats_activity shows active, running queries.
The pg_stat_statements extension will show aggregated information for query fingerprints.
The log_statement configuration will log queries that were sent to the database into your postgres.log. Use the log_line_prefix configuration to capture more details into the logs.
The pgaudit extension will capture queries that were executed on the database, with nicely formatted output for easy parsing or to send to log aggregation tools.
Here's an Azure doc that describes how to set these in the UI and how to view the resulting logs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/single-server/concepts-server-logs.
In your case, setting log_statement to 'all' should be a good start.
I am trying to use IBM APP Connect Enterprise to connect to a Postgresql Datasource and execute Database complex queries (Complex SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE Statements)
All I can find is the loopback node which is using limited (select, insert and update) statements.
Is there any option that I can include an esql having a PASSTHRU function as the one used with ODBC (Oracle datasources)?
You could use App Connect for the interactions with Postgresql: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/containers_cd?topic=examples-connecting-app-connect-postgresql
You should be able to call your App Connecto flow using a Callable Flow (via the Switch Server): https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/12.0?topic=pecf-preparing-environment-split-processing-between-app-connect-enterprise-app-connect-cloud
You should be able to add a postgresql database as an ODBC database through the UnixODBC layer (i.e. add an entry to the odbcinst.ini file), it's not directly supported though, so if you find an issue you'd need to reproduce with a supported database.
I haven't tried it myself yet, I should hopefully have time in the not too distant future.
Searching the internet for "unixodbc postgres odbcinst.ini" gave some good results, which is where I'd start.
First of all i do not know if is possible what i want to achive, will describe below:
I have access of a remote PostgreSQL that holds the data i need (let's say Remote PostgreSQL 1)
have just credentials to read from database
What i want to achive is to create a localt PostgreSQL on my machine (let's say Local PostgreSQL 2)
Want to copy and check for missing data from Remote PostgreSQL 1 to Local PostgreSQL 2 in real time or at list to copy at the end of the day data
The scenario will work perfect with replication but the issue is that Remote PostgreSQL 1 is not owned by me and can not be used as real time DB, because of this trying to find a solution to get all the data from Remote PostgreSQL 1 to Local PostgreSQL 2.
Could be the following scenarios:
first time setup to downlaod all the database from Remote PostgreSQL 1 to Local PostgreSQL 2
after first time setup to check what data came new inside and add them in Local PostgreSQL 2
Would be great if this could be done on OS level on UBUNTU. My application is written in python 3 i could do scripts to do all this job but i speak of 100 millions of raws per table huge amount of data. Think will be problems to get everything from database and start to check everything what is missing and not.
Any ideas would be great.
If the owner of Remote Database 1 won't cooperate with you other than to give you read only access to the tables, then you don't have any efficient options. If the remote owner does or can be convinced to keep insertion/modification timestamp columns in all the tables (although then deletions would be a problem), or an in-database "audit" log for all the tables, you could use those. I think you have an organizational/political problem rather a programming problem.
I've recently joined a company with a mixed set of databases that include a Redshift cluster and some SQL databases. I'd like to use a single IDE to access both for analytical reporting, so I don't have to switch between tools. I'm currently using workbench, which works, but it's not clicking with me.
I do like Azure Data Studio, but it's SQL Server and Postgres only. Given the similarities between Redshift and Postgres, I thought I'd see if I could connect using the Postgres driver.
I've installed the Postgres extension and can "connect" to the database. However when I try to explore the database using the tree view, I get the error message 'Cannot Expand Node'. When I run a simple query that works in workbench, e.g.
Select * from [server].[database].[table]
I get the following Error message:
Started executing query at Line 1
cursors can only be used within the transaction that created them.
Total execution time: 00:00:00.019
I know I'm trying to do something that shouldn't be done. And if I can't, I can't. But has anyone here managed to get a redshift connection going in Azure Data Studio?
FWIW, I've come across a GitHub Repository that may be a Redshift driver for data studio - but this looks like a clone of the Postgres driver, with no activity since march (not even renaming the 'Postgres' titles to Redshift)... and therefore I'm dubious.
I'd like to monitor the queries getting sent to my database from an application. To that end, I've found pg_stat_activity, but more often then not, the rows which are returned read " in transaction". I'm either doing something wrong, am not fast enough to see the queries come through, am confused, or all of the above!
Can someone recommend the most idiot-proof way to monitor queries running against PostgreSQL? I'd prefer some sort of easy-to-use UI based solution (example: SQL Server's "Profiler"), but I'm not too choosy.
PgAdmin offers a pretty easy-to-use tool called server monitor
(Tools ->ServerStatus)
With PostgreSQL 8.4 or higher you can use the contrib module pg_stat_statements to gather query execution statistics of the database server.
Run the SQL script of this contrib module pg_stat_statements.sql (on ubuntu it can be found in /usr/share/postgresql/<version>/contrib) in your database and add this sample configuration to your postgresql.conf (requires re-start):
custom_variable_classes = 'pg_stat_statements'
pg_stat_statements.max = 1000
pg_stat_statements.track = top # top,all,none
pg_stat_statements.save = off
To see what queries are executed in real time you might want to just configure the server log to show all queries or queries with a minimum execution time. To do so set the logging configuration parameters log_statement and log_min_duration_statement in your postgresql.conf accordingly.
pg_activity is what we use.
https://github.com/dalibo/pg_activity
It's a great tool with a top-like interface.
You can install and run it on Ubuntu 21.10 with:
sudo apt install pg-activity
pg_activity
If you are using Docker Compose, you can add this line to your docker-compose.yaml file:
command: ["postgres", "-c", "log_statement=all"]
now you can see postgres query logs in docker-compose logs with
docker-compose logs -f
or if you want to see only postgres logs
docker-compose logs -f [postgres-service-name]

I haven't tried it myself unfortunately, but I think that pgFouine can show you some statistics.
Although, it seems it does not show you queries in real time, but rather generates a report of queries afterwards, perhaps it still satisfies your demand?
You can take a look at
