    I went ahead and used another Postgresql database that does not contain PCI information. It worked

Hey wwilbur,

The info on the stackoverflow page (the query) should work as the table holds a list of all the connections. Can you clarify exactly what you did and what occurred when you tried? Cos killing that pid works.

Ive re-read your description again and im guessing that keeping active connections in the pool is an issue with postgresql, so theres not much you can do from the other end of things (ReadyAPI) to resolve. This is NOT an issue with ReadyAPI, so the resolution at best is gonna be running a query or a kill command in the OS or something similar. This issue would occur whatever application was hitting the database. Thats where you need to resolve the issue, im thinking

Cheers

Rich
