Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Q: Executing functions at connect/disconnect?
Just as i thought...
I have only one solution then; to have a cleanup function which is executed
every now and then...
Cleanup function:
1. Look in the Session table to find out which sessions are registered.
2. Determine if some of these sessions are "dead".
3. Update all those items/objects/rows held by the dead session(s) as
"unused".
4. Unregister the session.
I see two problems with this:
A. How do I know if a session is dead or still connected? I need to get that
information from the postmaster or my backend in some way, but I don't know
how to do that.
You can get backend PID using:
SELECT pg_backend_pid();
and see all active connections using:
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity;
Hope that You are using 7.x version of PostgreSQL, I do not know exactly
which version introduced statistic collector.
Regards !
