I found an interesting inconsistency between pg_stat_activity and
log_duration.

query | SELECT count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_class AS c WHERE c.oid =
pgpool_regclass('pgbench_accounts') AND c.relpersistence = 'u'
As you can see, at 2014-02-04 12:47:27.210981+09 the query "SELECT
count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_class..." is "active" and it seems still
running.
On the other side, Here is an excerpt from PostgreSQL log:
21850 2014-02-04 12:47:11.241 JST LOG: execute pgpool21805/pgpool21805: SELECT
count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_class AS c WHERE c.oid =
pgpool_regclass('pgbench_accounts') AND c.relpersistence = 'u'
21850 2014-02-04 12:47:11.241 JST LOG: duration: 0.078 ms
The duration was shown as "0.078 ms" thus it seems the query has been
already finished.
The reason why pg_stat_activity thinks that the query in question is,
"sync" message has not been sent to the backend yet (at least from
what I read from postgres.c).
I think this inconsistency is not very intutive to users...
Best regards,
