How can I quit a currently running query? I've issued a query and my server does not respond anymore. Is there another solution than using kill -9?

    What specifically do you mean by "my server does not respond
    anymore"?  Because if "the server" really doesn't respond
    anymore, you can't even issue "kill -9".
    
    I'd first try "select
      pg_cancel_backend(<pid>);".  If that doesn't work, try "select pg_terminate_backend(<pid>);", which is the
    Postgresql-aproved version of "kill -9".
