pg_cancel_backend and pg_terminate_backend
You had to be a SU in 8.0, 9.0 allowed you to cancel your own query.

My experience with the older PG versions is that I couldn't stop a query sometimes with pg_cancel_backend, so I had to resort to pg_terminate_backend.

I usually prefer pg_cancel_backend because it seems.. nicer, but lately I've had a troublesome user who leaves transactions open and I've scripted up a call to pg_terminate_backend after 60 minutes in an idle transaction. It works well.
Question: is there any server impact beyond that user's transaction when calling pg_terminate_backend? I feel like there _used_ to be, maybe in PG9, where I recall maybe seeing a server disconnect or something when using terminate.
Just curious about this approach. Thanks.
