  Not quite the same no.  In Postgres, if you do a:


 pg_ctl -D <path/to/data/dir> stop

  It will shut all processes down, there is no concept of 'stopping' a particular database in a postgres cluster.
 

oracle has a command like shutdown specified db, don't know if postgresql can do the same


   If you need to block access, you can use the host based access file (pg_hba.conf).

Hope this helps

You could also just disable the ability to connect to the database by
updating pg_database.
