Thread: Currently connected users...

I'm a beginner Postgres user, and need quick hint from someone.


How could I know which users are currently connected to postgres instance?


Thanks,
DP.

You can use pg_stat_activity:

select * from pg_stat_activity

Or, if you need only the usernames:

select usename from pg_stat_activity ;
