[GENERAL] pgAdmin 4 - auto disconnect

Hi,

I deployed pgAdmin4 on a server and I have a script that every day restore a database from a dump file. The problem I am facing at, is that if somebody forget to diconnect from the database, the restore command fails with an error "database Test is being accessed by other users".

Is there a way to tell pgAdmin to auto disconnect from all databases?

Thanks
Paolo Saudin

PgAdmin4 actually has nothing to do with it, as it is nothing more than a tool to monitor PostgreSQL.
However, you can kill all user processes (except your own) by submitting the following query.

SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid)
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE pg_backend_pid() <> pid;

CAVEAT EMPTOR: You must be a superuser for this to work properly.
