Why are a lot of ROLLBACK queries in idle state

Hi,

When querying the pg_stat_acitivity I find a lot of ROLLBACK queries in idle
state. Can someone help me know why?

Thanks in advance.

select query, state, waiting, query_start from pg_stat_activity where query
ilike '%rollback%';
                                              query
| state  | waiting |          query_start

The _session_ is idle, not the query.

Quote from the manual:

If the session is idle, the "query" column of pg_stat_activity shows the last executed statement in that session.

So this simply means all those sessions properly ended their transaction using a ROLLBACK statement.

Thanks for the Reply.

If the _session_ is idle then shouldn't it be removed from pg_stat_activity?

The session is only removed from pg_stat_activity when it's closed, i.e. when the client disconnects.

Being "idle" and disconnecting are two completely different things

thanks for the reply.

how do I kill these idle sessions? And if I do, will it cause any issues?

Why do you think you need to kill them?

An idle connection is not really a problem and keeping them around for re-use is exactly what connection pools are
doing.

If you think those connections are a problem, you should rather investigate why your applications doesn't close, not
blindlykill them.
