There have been dozens, perhaps hundreds, of entries in the pg-admin, pg-general, and pg-performance lists regarding killing a session, but as far as I can tell, there is no Postgres solution. Did I miss something?

This raises the question: Why doesn't Postgres have a "kill session" command that works? Oracle has it, and it's invaluable; there is no substitute. Various writers to these PG lists have raised the question repeatedly. Is it just a matter that nobody has had the time to do it (which I respect!), or is there a reason why the Postgres team decided a "kill session" is a bad idea?

You are sure you read:
