Is there any reason the length of pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity.current_query is capped at 255 characters?
The reason for a limit is to avoid fragmentation of UDP messages. I believe we've set it at 1K for 8.0, though, and if you are on a platform with a higher message size limit you could raise it more.
I'm confused... UDP as in the UDP/IP? RPC caps UDP messages at 8K and NFS over UDP often runs at 32K... where is UDP used in the backend? -sc
