Kill all database connections on heroku when max connections have been reached - postgresql

My instance has a maximum number of connections of 16. As soon as I realized that I had 19 connections, I hurried to kill one, which turns out to open a standard connection with the same priority and limitations.
I have now reached the absolute maximum number of connection, which is 20, and cannot even do a pg:ps or a pg:killall.
How can I kill all connections, or do anything to lower the number of connections now? The query which seems to be blocking is extremely long (seems like a select * from a table which has 410k entries).

I grabbed the following toolbelt add-on which worked perfectly.
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-pg-extras#usage

My solution was to promote another DB and assign the original again
heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:hobby-basic
#Attached as NEW_DATABASE_URL
heroku pg:promote NEW_DATABASE_URL
heroku pg:promote ORIGINAL_DATABASE_URL
Then verify your db connections

brew postgresql-upgrade-database fails on migrating and upgrading data

I've just sit down to my work, forgetting that I've upgraded brew in the 2020 – so of course I have a postgresql problem.
The last version I had was 12.x. Now I have 13.1 installed:

The only notes about this I could find were about pg developers mulling whether to print out the offending databases involved: it was unclear what the fix would be. Any hints ?
Update There is no loadable_libraries.txt in the directory that this was run.
I am creating an answer based on the comment from #LaurenzAlbe. The loadable_libraries.txt was not placed in the current directory from which the command
was run . Instead let's go find where it went:
$find / -name loadable_libraries.txt
/usr/local/var/log/loadable_libraries.txt
So what's in that file?
06:22:24/cidervuong2 $cat /usr/local/var/log/loadable_libraries.txt
could not load library "$libdir/pg_background": ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/pg_background": No such file or directory

I looked into that error:
ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/pg_background"
and there is no useful information. I went ahead and nuked postgresql again and this time it installed cleanly.
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies postgres
brew install postgres
brew services start postgresql # actually already started

heroku postgresql could not connect to server: Connection timed out

I'm trying to connect to postgres database in heroku using heroku pg:psql postgresql-rigid-33416 --app murmuring-ocean-62645, however I got this message
--> Connecting to postgresql-rigid-33416
psql: could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060)
Is the server running on host "ec2-50-17-225-140.compute-1.amazonaws.com" (50.17.225.140) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
I have tried to turn off my firewall but the problem persists. Any idea how to solve this?

postgresql: errors install and run postgresql-9.5

You have to use the same libpq library as the one used in psql 9.5.
You should do the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
sudo /sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/lib
You mess up with different versions of postgresql.
To start/use 9.5, you must use the appropriate binaries: initdb, pg_ctl and psql (for example):
mkdir /usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/data
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin/initdb -D ../data/
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin/pg_ctl -D ../data/ -l logfile start
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.5/bin/psql -p 5432 -d template1
More info: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/install-post.html
and PQsslInUse issue: http://postgresql.nabble.com/psql-error-on-postgresql-9-0-psql-symbol-lookup-error-psql-undefined-symbol-PQconnectdbParams-td5104930.html
The error is "undefined symbol: PQsslInUse"
I just ran into this problem myself. I discovered that the reason was because I compiled Postgres 9.5 from scratch into a particular directory and then decided that I wanted it elsewhere and moved the install to a new directory. Down the line when I went to restore my database with psql, I got the above error. I corrected the problem by deleting my installation directory, changing the PREFIX to the correct location, recompiling and reinstalling Postgres. psql worked fine after this.
I had the same problem
psql: symbol lookup error: psql: undefined symbol: PQsetErrorContextVisibility
And the solution is :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PGXZ_HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
I had a similar issue and finally found a solution:
My user did not have permission for the postgres installation.
What worked for me was to switch to the postgres user:
sudo su - postgres
psql
and then it worked no issues.

chef-server-ctl reconfigure fails after customizing the PostgreSQL port

I'm using Open Source Chef 11.0.10 on Ubuntu 12.04. This is a shared server where PostgreSQL and Apache are already running, so I'm trying to customize the Chef port numbers.
I've created the file /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb, which contains the lines:
nginx['ssl_port'] = 8443
postgresql['port'] = 5433
When I execute the command:
sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure
it fails on the line:
execute[/opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/createdb -T template0 -E UTF-8 opscode_chef] action run
and the error message says:
---- Begin output of /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/createdb -T template0 -E UTF-8 opscode_chef ----
STDOUT:
STDERR: createdb: could not connect to database template1: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
---- End output of /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/createdb -T template0 -E UTF-8 opscode_chef ----
Now, the Chef instance of PostgreSQL does appear to be running, in addition to the original instance:
$ ps -ef | grep postgresql | grep -v grep
postgres 1000 1 0 09:14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
root 4830 4421 0 09:46 ? 00:00:00 runsv postgresql

998 5579 4830 0 09:49 ? 00:00:00 /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/postgres -D /var/opt/chef-server/postgresql/data
What did I miss?
More details:
I had used the omnibus package to do the initial chef-server install:
https://opscode-omnibus-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/12.04/x86_64/chef-server_11.0.10-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb
It failed before completion at the same step with the same error because it's trying to use the default PostgreSQL port, which is already in use.
And the Chef PostgreSQL instance is running:
$ sudo /opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/sv status postgresql
run: postgresql: (pid 5579) 86034s; run: log: (pid 4831) 86158s
I gave up trying to get Chef's PostgreSQL instance configured to use a different port.
Instead, I modified our existing PostgreSQL installation's port number to be 5433 and let Chef's instance use 5432. Now the "chef-server-ctl reconfigure" command completes successfully.
