+1 for renaming, +1 for a state column.
I think it is overkill to keep a query history beyond that -- if you
want that,
you can resort to the log files.
ISTM that we're all for:
creating a new column: state
renaming current_query => query
State will display <RUNNING>, <IDLE>, <IDLE> in transaction, etc...
query will display the last query that was executed.
I've written this up in the attached patch, looking for feedback. (NB: Originally I was using 9.1.1 release, I just did a git clone today to generate this).
