Send a SIGINT to the backend process running that query, eg

kill -INT 

This has the same effect as a user-requested cancel (eg ^C in psql).

What about an implementation into the command structure ?

Re: [ADMIN] how to cancel a query ?

2002-12-05 Thread Eric Hallander
If you wanted to do something programatically, couldn't you define some
functions that would allow you say implement a query id, and embed a
function call in the where clause like

select getNextQueryId()

where .. and queryStillActive(query_id) = true

Then another function could be called to kill the query either from within
the program, or externally like

stopQuery(query_id).

You probably wouldn't want to do this for every query, but if you know you
have some potentially long running queries, then

Libpq has:

PQrequestCancel()

Where else did you want it?

Re: [ADMIN] how to cancel a query ?

2002-12-13 Thread Murthy Kambhampaty
I was asking on the pyPgSQL list whether the PQrequestCancel() would allow
that if a user submitting queries from Python closed the Python shell, the
query would be cancelled (a la ^C in psql). This led me to: 

If the connection from which a synchronous query
("libpq->connection.query()") was submitted is closed, should libpq assume a
PQrequesCancel() and cancel the query at the same time? Isn't this the
analog of ^C in psql?

Thanks,
Murthy
