Hi: I
have a system where I have 2 DBs. The first is available to the users for
general interaction. The second gets reloaded with new data once per night and
is then “renamed” to the active one if/when the reload went
successfully, preserving the old DB as a standby. Here’s a snapshot of
that process. alter
database maindb rename to temp; alter
database standby rename to maindb alter
database temp rename to standby The
problem is that sometimes the rename fails because there are active users on
the available DB... DBD::Pg::db do
failed: ERROR: database "maindb" is being accessed by other users
. Because the reload takes place in the wee hours, I feel it’s OK to kill
any existing user connections in order to prevent this if I have to. Q: Is
there a way to kill all active users on a DB without having to reboot the DB? Q: Or
is my problem moot in that there is a way to leave those connections alone and
attached to the now renamed DB? Thanks
in Advance for any help -dave
