Hello,
I am a newb in Postgres coming from Oracle. Does anyone know if it's possible to see the plan being executed by Postgres for an active sql statement (from pg_stat_activity). This is to be able to troubleshoot poor performing ones and in Oracle we are able to retrieve such a plan.

Additionally, how do I see the actual sql statement that shows as "<unnamed portal x>".
Thanks so much for any advice you all may have.

Welcome...!!!
You need to use additional module to write query plan in logs i.e., AUTO_EXPLAIN.

Of course you can also see what the query plan will be without having to run the query through a standard explain query:

Hi,
The problem is the current_query (in pg_stat_activity) contains bind variables and I can't just take it to do the explain (and, of course I don't know the values of the bind variables).
On a related issue, how can I see the actual sql statement when the current_query shows "<unnamed portal x>".
pg_cursors is only accessible within the same transaction and as a DBA we want to see that cursor of any active transactions.

I am not familiar with the Oracle tools, but you should note that the "EXPLAIN ANALYZE" does actually do the transaction, so if you doing an update / insert / delete you may want to wrap it in an explicit transaction and then roll it back.
