<!-- Source: https://docs.redpanda.com/cloud-data-platform/reference/sql/sql-statements/show-queries.md -->

The `SHOW QUERIES` statement displays currently running queries on the cluster. This statement is only available to the superuser.

> 📝 **NOTE**
>
> This statement is not case-sensitive. `show queries`, `Show Queries`, and `SHOW QUERIES` all produce the same result.

## [](#examples)Examples

```sql
SHOW QUERIES;
```

> 📝 **NOTE**
>
> `SHOW QUERIES` is equivalent to `SELECT * FROM system.queries`. You can query the [`system.queries`](https://docs.redpanda.com/cloud-data-platform/reference/sql/system-virtual-tables/#system-queries) table directly to filter or sort results using `WHERE` and `ORDER BY` clauses.
