I just tried it and it didn't work. An idle in transaction
connection ignored it. And I ran pg_cancel_backend as a superuser,
getting back a 't' as a response.

I think you gotta kill them from outside. Unless there's a pg_kill
command I'm not familiar with. But then I'd have to make a view so I
could pg_kill(all_humans); (bender joke for those that don't get
it)
