Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the response.
Currently it's keeping 16 open connections and it isn't even running. I believe that they(finance) can run 5
concurrentjava apps and each opens a number of sessions. Currently all 16 sessions are owned by 1 datid. So
potentiallyit's 80 connections, this is on top of all our cognos (which also leaves connections open). We're
typicallyhave 80 - 300 connections open.
I'm really looking for the PG command to close a session.

A relatively small number of such connections shouldn't be a
problem. It's hard to make concrete suggestions on so little
information, but I would point out that you can write and install
your own functions which can do just about anything you want,
including making network connections. So, hypothetically, you could
register to receive certain information on a certain event in some
"requests" table, with a URL to signal when the event occurs, and
disconnect. Some trigger could recognize that an event has
occurred, and call a function to signal the given URL.
Just about anything is possible, it's just a Simple Matter Of
Programming....
