Since posgres 13 there's the option to do a FORCE when dropping a database (so it disconnects current users) Documentation here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-dropdatabase.html
I am currently using dir format for the output
   pg_dump -d "bdname" -F d -j 4 -v -f /tmp/dir

Having an option to add the FORCE option to either the generated dump by pg_dump, or in the pg_restore would be very useful when restoring the databases so it would avoid having to do scripting.

Joan
