Hi there,

I'm a developer who is working on PostgreSQL API and i got stuck in Terminating session.
I'm working on PostgreSQL 8.3.

Please, help if anyone has ideas on how to kill PostgreSQL session.

i found this code in misc.c

#ifdef NOT_USED

/* Disabled in 8.0 due to reliability concerns; FIXME someday */
Datum
pg_terminate_backend(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
PG_RETURN_INT32(pg_signal_backend(PG_GETARG_INT32(0), SIGTERM));
}

#endif

There is no supported way of terminating a session in 8.3 bu you can use
query_cancel stop terminate the query. 8.4 will have this capability.
