+1. Reading this thread I don't see why there is actually a problem... The whole discussion is about moving the check at SQL-level with pg_backend_pid(), that people are used to for a couple of releases now, into pg_cancel_backend() or within a new function. I am not really convinced that it is worth having a new interface for that. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
