Idle In Transaction means that the process has issued a BEGIN to start a
transaction but is sitting there doing nothing. if they stay that way
for hours, they block vacuum from freeing any tuples since the start of
the oldest transaction.. Long running Idle in Transaction processes
generally indicate a error in your program design.
