Since I have a stuck backend without client again, I'll have to kill -SIGTERM a backend. Fortunately, I do have console access to that machine and it's not win32 but a decent OS. For other cases I'd really really really appreciate if that function would make it into 8.2.
utils/adt/misc.c says: #*ifdef* NOT_USED //* Disabled in 8.0 due to reliability concerns; FIXME someday *// Datum *pg_terminate_backend*(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) Well, AFAIR there were no more issues raised about code paths that don't clean up correctly, so can we please remove that comment and make the function live finally?
