Обсуждение: Stuck "idle in transaction (aborted)"

Hi,

We have a stale connection on one of our machine. The connection is shown as follows:

26286 ?        Ss     1:31 postgres: postgres reporting localhost (37118) idle in transaction (aborted)


Can anybody let me know how we can get rid of such connection, is there are any command which will kill such a aborted transaction in a safe manner?

Regards,
Nimesh.

psql> select pg_terminate_backend(26286);

or

shell$> kill 26286


Do ***NOT*** use "kill -9" or "kill -KILL".
