Afraid so. You can wait longer, I guess. You may have found two bugs… the lack of an interrupt in the dbscan loop, which I’m working on now. And maybe an infinite looping case? In which case if you want a fix on that, you’ll have to share your data and query.

I have a long running query that I seem unable to either cancel or

What could be the reason for this, and what is the bet way to terminate
this kind of query ?
The query is a CTE using postgis ST_ClusterDBSCAN function. The CTE
returns approximately 150k rows.
The SQL is as follows :
EXPLAIN ANALYZE WITH subq AS ( SELECT id, geom, ST_ClusterDBSCAN(geom, eps := 1000, minpoints := 1) OVER() AS cluster_id FROM mytable ) SELECT cluster_id, count(id), ST_Collect(geom) FROM subq GROUP BY cluster_id;
pg_stat_activity show no wait event. pg_cancel_backend(mypid) returns true but the state does not change in
pg_stat_activity.
pg_terminate_backend(mypid) yields the same result (as superuser) Pg_stat_activity show no wait_event.
SELECT version(); PostgreSQL 14.5 (Ubuntu 14.5-1.pgdg20.04+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0, 64-bit
The most likely explanation is that one of the PostGIS functions runs for a long time without checking CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(). That would be a PostGIS bug. Try to construct a reproducible test case that you can share!
Perhaps this trick can help: https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/cancel-hanging-postgresql- query/
Thanks LaurenzUnfortunately, I don't have a shell access to the server, so I guess I'll have to ask to sysadmin to kill -9 ?RegardsArnaud
