Hi,
I have some issue where
SELECT * from pg_stat_activity WHERE current_query='<IDLE>';
returns too many rows .

What is the meaning of IDLE ?
I suspect that the server is overloaded with idle connections, but i don't know why .
Sometimes i am forced to do
 SELECT pg_terminate_backend(procpid) from pg_stat_activity where current_query='<IDLE>';


Queries comes from 2 web nodes .

Any ideas why is this happening ?
