<font face="arial" size="2"><p>Today I end up killing pgadmin a few times while inadvertantly running some huge queries
andsome ALTER requests that were blocked due to the queries. I should have canceled the queries from pgadmin, but I
didn't.When I saw that the postgres processes were using up 100% of the CPU, I looked up the process id's of the ALTERs
andrunaway queries in pg_stat_activity and did the equivalent of "pg_ctl kill".<p> <p>I don't think this is really
pgadmin'sfault, but why doesn't PostgreSQL notice that the query requestor has vanished and quit working on the query?
Apologiesif you think I should ask this on a general PG list.<p> <p>Thanks,<p>Dan</font>
