Hi all,

I have ran a update query on a dataset which has about 48 million records
and the query is already running for the third day....im so tempted to the
kill this query now....is there a way to know if the query is running??
here is the query i've ran

UPDATE ma SET av=to_tsvector('default',coalesce(name_first,'') ||' '||
coalesce(name_last,''));


Thanks,
Sumeet

48 million records is a lot.  You oughta see activity with iostat or
something.

more methods:

1. select * from pg_stat_activity;
see what all running and pid of your current query also.

2. SELECT h.pid AS blocker, w.pid AS blockee
   FROM ONLY pg_locks h, ONLY pg_locks w
  WHERE h."granted" AND NOT w."granted" AND (h.relation = w.relation
AND h."database" = w."database" OR h."transaction" = w."transaction");

make sure that the pid in 1 is not listed as a blockee in result of
above query m, ie The the update is waiting for anything.

3. go the shell , su - postgres ,

strace -p <pid> of the backend got in 1.
observe the system calls , see if anything awkward
there shoud be a lot of writes

4. iostat ofcourse, unless the above sql is the only sql(update)
   running running in server .

my 4cents
