In this post, I am sharing a use of the pg_backend_pid function to get your current Process ID or Session ID in PostgreSQL.

When we are writing any DBA utility related script, I would suggest, please log current process id in a log file.

When you are executing multiple DBA commands, it may difficult to find process id for those running commands from the table pg_stat_activity.

Naturally, we can use pg_backend_pid() to get current process id. 

SELECT pg_backend_pid()
