That is one thing that could affect the case reported here as well. The worst thing about those, is you can't even force kill those connections from within postgres (pg_cancel_backend doesn't work on them, and killing them via the OS bounces postgres ...) so you have to hunt down the offending client. > Ooh, I just noticed pg_terminate_backend() ... maybe this will let me kill annoying idle in transaction clients. I guess this arrived in 8.4? Hopefully this won't cause the whole thing to bounce and close all other backends.... > >> regards, tom lane >> >> -- >> Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) >> To make changes to your subscription: >> http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance > > > -- > Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
