Re: Is there a way to kill a connection from the pg_stat_activitly list?

Thanks a lot!

"select pg_cancel_backend(procpid) " can end the current query for that user, but then this connection becomes IDLE, still connected.

Is there a command for me to totally disconnect a user by procpid? Some times, I need to kick out a particular Postgres user completely.

thanks
