We have a server that backups and then recreates our production database on a nightly basis
In order to drop and recreate the database we would stop and restart the server - this would
Effectively kick off any straggling users so we could get our refresh done. No problem.
Now we have more than one database and stopping and restarting the server to clean up
The backup database would also kill any process going on in the new database.
Is there a command in postgres to disconnect all users short of restarting
The server? I looked at pg_ctl kill TERM but there I would need to
Specify specific PIDs. Not something I want to do manually at 1 am every morning.
We are at postgres 8.2.5. Thanks for your help
