pg_cancel_backend() is currently conditional on whether a statement is active or not, so should really be called pg_cancel_if_active(). What people want is an unconditional way to stop a transaction. I don't see the need for 3 modes (and that has nothing to do with HS). -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
