Subject: display previous query string of idle-in-transaction

Hi.
Now, we can check the running query string by pg_stat_activity.current_query.
If we can also check previous query_string of idle-in-transaction,
it is useful for analysis of long transaction problem.
Long-transaction is a trouble, because it prevents defragmentation of HOT and VACUUM.
And long-transaction tends to be it in a state of "idle in transaction".
(BEGIN -> SOME SQL -> .... (long-transactin) ....)
So, I sometimes want to know what query (main cause) was done before
transaction which have been practiced for a long time.
I think that we are glad when we can confirm it in the following form.
# We will be able to use debug_query_string in postgres.c for this purpose.
=================================================================
=# SELECT current_query FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE procpid <> pg_backend_pid();
current_query
---------------------------------------------------------------
<IDLE> in transaction [prev]: SELECT * FROM pg_class limit 1;
=================================================================
Thoughts?
Best regards.
