Aiven does not terminate any customer PostgreSQL queries even if they run "forever".
Long-running queries often cause issues by locking resources and preventing database maintenance tasks.
To identify such queries:
In the Aiven web console, go to the Current Queries tab for your PostgreSQL service. Here you can also click Terminate to stop any queries directly.
Call the following function over a database connection to terminate a query manually:
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid);
You can use the following query to monitor currently running queries:
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state <> 'idle';Client applications can use the statement_timeout session variable to voluntarily request the server to automatically cancel any query using the current connection that runs over a specified length of time. For example, the following would cancel any query that runs for more 15 seconds automatically:
SET statement_timeout = 15000See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information on the available session variables.
