I have the need to have postgresql db running in multiuser mode and do my needed tasks for few mins.

How to restrict all the application layer , not to get connected with the postgres db ,

during my specific time window

1. Create a pg_hba_maintmode.conf with only the relevant hosts in it.

2. Copy pg_hba.conf to pg_hba_multi.conf.

3. Copy pg_hba_maintmode.conf to pg_hba.conf.

4. pg_ctl reload.

5. Use pg_stat_activity and pg_cancel_backend() to kill the application connections.

6. Do your work.

7. Copy pg_hba_multi.conf to pg_hba.conf.

8. pg_ctl reload

Or... just shut down the user application.
