Anyway, how can I get rid those "idle in transaction" processes? Can I just kill -15 them or is there a less drastic way to do it?
Are you crazy? Sure, if you want to destroy all of the changes made to the database in that transaction and thoroughly confuse the client application, you can send a TERM signal to a backend, but the consequences to your data are on your own head.
Fix the application, don't tell Postgres to stop being a decent database. Matthew -- I would like to think that in this day and age people would know better than to open executables in an e-mail.
