I
have a couple of backend processes that are “stuck”, and do not
respond to a pg_cancel_backend. This is PostgreSQL 8.3.5. The
pg_cancel_backend returns true, but the process keeps running. I have
also done a “kill 12345” from the command-line, with no effect. The
processes are running a “select function_x” statement that normally
takes a fraction of a second to run. No
locks are shown when I do: select
relname,pg_locks.* from pg_class,pg_locks where relfilenode=relation and not
granted; We
had a database crash last week, and had to reindex a bunch of tables, but this
function has been working for several days on the same tables that should be
being used by the function_x function. Any
ideas on how to get the processes to go away? They
are eating cpu cycles, for no good reason: postgres
