Обсуждение: ctrl-c - is it safe to kill a query?
Hi folks,
We are running psql 8.3.7 and linux 2.6.9-78.0.17.ELsmp
We had a situation this weekend where someone was running an update
On the psql command line and had to kill it.
It is considered ‘best practice’ to use cntrl-c to do so?
Or is there a better way? The transaction did roll back.
Good to know for future reference. Thank you.

The transaction did roll back. Sure, that is fine. It doesn't hurt anything. There is also a way to do it from another session using using pg_cancel_backend(). -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +
