Consider long-running query in PostgreSQL
of index creation, smth like that:
CREATE INDEX some_idx
ON some_table USING btree
(some_varchar_column COLLATE pg_catalog."default");
The question is: how to retrieve the progress of this query process? Is it possible or not?
It is interesting to know the way in both cases:
pgAdmin
SQL
postgreSQL
tools.May be this additional info could influence on the answer: PostgreSQL 9.3
on Windows 7 64 bit
.
There's a wiki page on this very topic, which links to several links. Their accuracy is in question as of a few years ago. There's also a thread on hackers from 2006 or 2007 regarding adding progress indicators within which, EnterpriseDBs Greg Stark makes the same point.
