Postgres 连接数过多 psql: FATAL: sorry, too many clients already

    今天开发找到我，说他们的数据库连接不上了，可能是连接数太多，然后我登录到服务器，并且尝试登陆数据库，也是报错：

psql: FATAL:  sorry, too many clients already

很明显，是数据库连接满了。于是查看一下数据库连接进程：

[postgres@ec2s-autodenalicontentpoi-01 ~]$ ps -ef |grep postgres

postgres  3406 18212  0 00:35 ?        00:01:00 postgres: denaliadmin region_na 172.16.60.16(51976) idle

postgres  5794 18212  1 02:13 ?        00:01:10 postgres: denaliadmin region_sa 10.189.101.98(40706) idle

......

为了能够登录数据库，只有kill掉一些处于idle状态的进程,再使用超级用户登录

$ kill  4223 

然后就可以进到数据库中通过select * from pg_stat_activity where state='idle';来查到哪些进程处于空闲，然后批量kill.

下面个人总结了一些关于PostgreSQL的连接控制：

max_connections

#数据库最大连接数

superuser_reserved_connections

#数据库预留给超级用户的连接数

Note:

如果max_connections=8，superuser_reserved_connections=3,

前面5次无论我使用什么用户登录都算普通用户登录次数，比如我先用超级用户postgres连续登陆5次，保持连接，第6次用普通用户是无法登陆，但是用超级用户是可以登录的。

测试过程

#设置参数大小

postgres=# show max_connections ;

max_connections

-----------------

8

postgres=# show superuser_reserved_connections;

superuser_reserved_connections

--------------------------------

3

#使用普通用户cdhu1和cdhu2连接数据库，连续开多个会话，查看连接数正好5个

当连接打满了，超级用户也无法登陆数据的时候怎么办？

（1）在系统层面kill其中一个idle进程,然后使用超级用户登录可以使用pg_terminate_backend(pid)断开连接

Darren1:postgres:/usr/local/pgsql:>kill 60467  

postgres=# select pg_terminate_backend(61825);

pg_terminate_backend

----------------------

t

（2）在系统层面kill -9其中一个进程时，全部的连接都会断开，所以慎重使用

Darren1:postgres:/usr/local/pgsql:>kill -9 60240

postgres=# select datid,datname,pid,usesysid,usename,application_name,client_addr,client_port,state,query from  pg_stat_activity;

WARNING:  terminating connection because of crash of another server process

DETAIL:  The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.

HINT:  In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command.

    This probably means the server terminated abnormally

The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Succeeded.

（3）重启数据库

Darren1:postgres:/usr/local/pgsql:>pg_ctl restart
