Hi all, I'm finding that routinely when I try to reload a database on a server where I know there are no connections to a given DB I get the error: $ dropdb foo && createdb foo -O bar && psql foo -f /path/to/db.out dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: database "foo" is being accessed by other users This means I need to restart the postmaster, but the server contains many DBs, of which some may actually be in use. How can I tell postgres that the database 'foo' should be marked as not in use / clear or drop any open connections / etc? Thanks all!
