Server Signal Functions

Server signaling functions send control signals to other server processes. Only system administrators can use these functions.

  • pg_cancel_backend(pid int)

    Description: Cancels the current query of a backend.

    Return type: Boolean

    Note:pg_cancel_backend sends a query cancellation (SIGINT) signal to the backend process identified by pid. The PID of an active backend process can be found in the pid column of the pg_stat_activity view, or can be found by listing the database process using ps on the server. A user with the SYSADMIN permission, the owner of the database connected to the backend process, the owner of the backend process, or a user who inherits the gs_role_signal_backend permission of the built-in role has the permission to use this function.

  • pg_reload_conf()

    Description: Causes all server processes to reload their configuration files (restricted to the system administrator).

    Return type: Boolean

    Note:pg_reload_conf sends a SIGHUP signal to the server (restricted to the system administrator). As a result, all server processes reload their configuration files.

  • pg_rotate_logfile()

    Description: Rotates the log files of the server.

    Return type: Boolean

    Note:pg_rotate_logfile sends a signal to the log file manager, instructing the manager to immediately switch to a new output file. This function works only when redirect_stderr is used for log output. Otherwise, no log file manager subprocess exists.

  • pg_terminate_backend(pid int)

    Description: Terminates a backend thread.

    Return type: Boolean

    Note: Each of these functions returns true if they are successful and false otherwise. A user with the SYSADMIN permission, the owner of the database connected to the backend process, the owner of the backend process, or a user who inherits the gs_role_signal_backend permission of the built-in role has the permission to use this function.

    Example:

    MogDB=# SELECT pid from pg_stat_activity;
           pid
    -----------------
     140657876268816
    (1 rows)
    
    MogDB=# SELECT pg_terminate_backend(140657876268816);
     pg_terminate_backend
    ----------------------
     t
    (1 row)
  • pg_terminate_session(pid int64, sessionid int64)

    Description: Terminates a backend session.

    Return type: Boolean

    Note: Each of these functions returns true if they are successful and false otherwise. A user with the SYSADMIN permission, the owner of the database connected to the session, the owner of the session, or a user who inherits the gs_role_signal_backend permission of the built-in role has the permission to use this function.
