I have a database I want to drop on a windows server. Unfortunately I
cannot restart postgres because it is running several live database.
To kill the offending session, I tried select * from pg_stat_activity to
find the PID of the session, and then tried to kill it with command line:
taskkill /f /pid 1234
This appeared to kill the session, but postgres still thinks the session
is live with the same process id.
Using the SysInternals process explorer - there doesn't appear to be a
process with the given ID.
How can I get postgres to drop this session?
Thanks
