Hi All,

I try to query on pg_stat_activity but the returned result is only like this:

teramedv2=> select * from pg_stat_activity where datname='teramedv2';
 datid |  datname  | procpid | usesysid | usename | current_query | query_start
-------+-----------+---------+----------+---------+---------------+-------------
 17178 | teramedv2 |   32727 |      103 | test    |               |
 17178 | teramedv2 |   26848 |      103 | test    |               |
 17178 | teramedv2 |     563 |      103 | test    |               |
 17178 | teramedv2 |   26799 |      103 | test    |               |
(4 rows)

the field current_query and query_start seems to me always null ... I
try to do a long run select query on the other console and see the
returned result from pg_stat_activity but the returned result is only
new row with datid,datname,procpid,usename fields is filled with the
correct value but current_query and query_start fields is always null.
Is this an expected result ?
