How do I see what queries are running on an interbase database - interbase

I have a Interbase 7.x database being used by an application.
I want to know which queries are run by that application in different scenarios.
Does anyone know about how to "profile" an interbase database and see which queries are currently running?

Use InterBase Performance Monitor. It's built into IBConsole, or you can get a standalone version.
Alternately:
SELECT * FROM TMP$STATEMENTS;

Postgresql with IBM App Connect Enterprise

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.

Monitor postgres 9 queries

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.

Difference between pgAdmin and PostgreSQL

Can someone tell me the difference between pgAdmin and postgreSQL? Are both of them one in the same? I can't draw a ER diagram in pgAdmin but was wondering if it's possible in postgreSQL?
Once I downloaded the postgreSQL it automatically downloaded the pgAdmin and the postgreSQL database is not in sight.
The PostgreSQL is a database engine implementing SQL standards. It usually listen as a server on a network tcp port to provide its abilities.
The pgAdmin is a sort of client. You are able to manipulate schema and data on an instance or multiple instances of PostgreSQL engines.
The MS Windows instalation package consists of both PostgreSQL server and PgAdmin client. So far right after the instalation you are able to manage your databases.
PostgreSQL (pronounced as post-gress-Q-L) is an open source relational
database management system ( DBMS ) developed by a worldwide team of
volunteers. PostgreSQL is not controlled by any corporation or other
private entity and the source code is available free of charge.
The pgAdmin package is a free and open source graphical user interface
administration tool for PostgreSQL, which is supported on many
computer platforms.
phpPgAdmin is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL written in PHP and based on the popular phpMyAdmin interface
originally written for MySQL administration
Hope you can understand now it well!!

Setting up environment for SQL queries

I know the basic syntax of queries but otherwise I'm a beginner with SQL.
I have an SQL file (.sql) and I downloaded a couple programs (pgadmin and sql workbench).
I have no idea how to get from where I am now to actually writing queries and finding information. How do I set up so I can actually import my SQL file and start writing queries?
pgAdmin is the default GUI for PostgreSQL.
SQL Workbench is a free, DBMS-independent, cross-platform SQL query tool.
Either way, you need to connect to a database to actually run queries. The DBMS can either run on your local machine or you can connect to a remote server - where you need access privileges of course.

How to check in which server mode (e.g. SuperClassic or Superserver) a Firebird database is running?

The latest Firebird 2.5.x database can run in either Classic, SuperClassic, or SuperServer mode. How can I check in which of these modes an installed database is running?
There's no API that exposes this. But because you're on a server, you can check what process is running.
I.e. on Windows and Firebird 2.5:
One fb_inet_server.exe = very likely SuperClassic
Multiple fb_inet_server.exe = very likely Classic
fbserver.exe = very likely SuperServer
Firebird 4+ has RDB$CONFIG table.
To read ServerMode see record with rdb$config_name='ServerMode':
select rdb$config_value from RDB$CONFIG where rdb$config_name='ServerMode'
