I'm attempting to delete a database that I've obviously not closed
connections from cleanly.

postgres=# DROP DATABASE filters;
ERROR:  database "filters" is being accessed by other users
DETAIL:  There are 4 other session(s) using the database.

How exactly would one manage this issue from a PostgreSQL
administration stand point? I know there are not real users connected
to this database but rather zombie connections. Is there a way to
force the DROP command or can I manually view / kill connections to
this database w/o having to restart the entire PostgreSQL daemon and
impact other active databases?
