pg_cancel_backend() cancels the running query for that backend. In the case
of<IDLE>, there is no running query for that backend.
Likely you're looking for pg_terminate_backend().

Hmm, yes. Though it seems to not be in the documentation, or, for that
matter, the current code:
utils/adt/misc.c
#*ifdef* NOT_USED
//* Disabled in 8.0 due to reliability concerns; FIXME someday *//
*pg_terminate_backend*(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS
# select pg_terminate_backend(5);
ERROR: function pg_terminate_backend(integer) does not exist
LINE 1: select pg_terminate_backend(5);
^
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might
need to add explicit type casts.
