May I know will <idle> cause any potential performance issues for psql8.3 please? version (PostgreSQL 8.3.18 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 4.1.2)
E.g., got 10 idle connections for 10 days. select current_query from pg_stat_activity where usename ='test'; current_query -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE> <IDLE>
Thanks a lot! Emi
Hi Emi,
As far as I know, it wont affect your performance.
It will affect the overall quantity of users that can connect to the database though (since there is a limit that you can set up on postgres.conf).
