In response to base directory size getting increased  (Atul Kumar <akumar14871@gmail.com>)
List pgsql-general
Hi Sir,

I don’t think there is any old connection connected as there is no process I found from pg_stat_activity.


Is there any other way to trace out such sessions.



Regards 
Atul

Ideally applications which creates temp table should drop it when no longer needed.
When not dropped, they get dropped automatically when the session which created
them terminates.  Looks like in your case both are not happening.

Which is the oldest session still shown as connected?
