That's the whole point: We want to be able to group similar process types. The _extra part is particular to a single process, so it might contain a specific OID or PID it is working on. The bgw_type is common for all workers of that kind. > I'd say current patch makes the user difficult to > distinguish between apply worker and table sync worker. We could arguably make apply workers and sync workers have different bgw_type values. But if you are interested in that level of detail, you should perhaps look at pg_stat_subscription. pg_stat_activity only contains the "common" data, and the process-specific data is in other views. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
