postgresql – To Kill postgresql Sessions for a specific database

Sometimes it is necessary for the database administrator to remove existing connected sessions. For example to drop a database when users and/or applications cannot (or will not) disconnect or terminate cleanly. 

SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pg_stat_activity.pid)
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE pg_stat_activity.datname = 'database_name_with_existing_sessions'
AND pid <> pg_backend_pid();

        FROM pg_catalog.pg_auth_members m
        JOIN pg_catalog.pg_roles b ON (m.roleid = b.oid)
        WHERE m.member = r.oid) as memberof
, r.rolreplication
, r.rolbypassrls
FROM pg_catalog.pg_roles r
WHERE r.rolname !~ '^pg_'
ORDER BY 1;
