What I want to know is how to quiese a database to that I can restore it.
I need to close all existing connections and the prevent people/processes from
connecting again until the restore has completed.
Currently I have been logging into a bunch of servers and stopping various
daemons, then on the database server killing processes until the database is
apparently idle then dropping the database and doing the restore. Then
restarting the daemons etc. I am sure I am not doing this the right way so
advice gratefully received.
I would modify pg_hba.conf to block access temporarily.-- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> https://momjian.us EnterpriseDB https://enterprisedb.com The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness, Bruce Lee
