pg_terminate_backend(pid) will not work as it expects only one pid at a time. 


Interesting…I wouldn’t expect the function calls to interact that way…maybe try putting the select query into a plpgsql DO command loop and then call pg_terminate_backend once per loop iteration.
 

So, the question is how to rewrite this psql so it loops through all pids one pid at a time?

I can’t tell if you really mean the psql program or are misusing the term to mean something different…the code you wrote doesn’t seem like it would execute in psql.
