Either follow the advice at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-pconnect.php or kill the
PostgreSQL backend process. (Look with ps ax. With luck you might
identify the process which is using that database from the command line
that ps shows.) All in all you will find that persistent connections and
volatile databases don't mix well.
