hi!

i have searched a lot in these pgsql-groups and on the internet, but
found no really helpful information for my problem.

the famous error

>> database "xyz" is being accessed by other users

is my problem.

i use postgesql 7.3.2 and zope 2.6.1 (python 2.1.3).
i want to create and drop databases. creating is no problem and my
script works fine. but dropping is the problem - postgres don't wanna
drop the db (bin/dropdb). i haven't found an option that ignores these
error-messages and drops the db anyway. nor i have found any command
which allows me to manage connections.

i see the only solution in killing the connections via cmd "kill" and
searching for connections via "ps" before.
