Greetings.
I need to be able to call the DROP DATABASE via Sql - i.e. I cannot run any scripts on the actual POSTGRES server as I am remotely connecting to it over TCP/IP via JDBC.
Unfortunately I need to kill off any active connections to the specified database before the DROP DATABASE command will work.
Is there anyway from within a JDBC connection to say the template1 database as the superuser on a POSTGRESQL server to:
1. Determine what connections are open and active to a specified database (this I can get from the stats tables)
2. Kill ALL these sessions. (or specifiy each and kill thme individually)...
I am using POSTGRES version 7.3.2.
Thank you in advance,
