Is the drop being prevented by the active query from database2? If
not how can I kill the <IDLE> query that must be preventing deletion.
any connection to the database, even idle, will prevent a drop database.
try...
select pg_terminate_backend(procpid) from pg_stat_activity where
datname = 'database1';
that will snuff those processes. then you can drop the database,
assuming the clients don't immediately reconnect.
