What do null column values for pg_stat_progress_vacuum mean? - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

We have an autovacuum process that has been running for almost 27 hours:

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE pid = 11731;
-[ RECORD 1 ]----+---------------------------------------
datid            | 16385
datname          | database_name

A row shows up in pg_stat_progress_vacuum, but it contains null values
for every column.

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_progress_vacuum WHERE pid = 11731;
-[ RECORD 1 ]------+---------------
pid                | 11731
datid              | 16385
datname            | d2j496215lfs41
relid              |
phase              |
heap_blks_total    |
heap_blks_scanned  |
heap_blks_vacuumed |
index_vacuum_count |
max_dead_tuples    |
num_dead_tuples    |

I see nothing in the documentation to suggest that this is an expected
state - what does it mean?

Thanks,
Mark.
