In 8.4 there's pg_terminate_backend(). Prior versions don't have any
truly safe method, though sending a SIGTERM to a backend is supposed to
be somewhat safe.

Sorry Craig,

I am using
PostgreSQL 8.3.8 on i686-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.6
20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-10)
version. and in my case I have to drop database and recreate it without
stop/restart database server.while several client are also running on this
datbase server .As you told pg_terminate_backend() is for 8.4.
Can you please let me know the how I can do this task via shell script.

I think you're missing Craig's point.  On versions prior to 8.4, there
isn't a safe way to do this - you may crash your entire database
server.  So while it's probably possible to write a shell script, you
may not like the results very much.

Also, this is starting to sound a bit more like a usage question,
which you might want to try on pgsql-general.  This list is for bug
reports.
