Find PostgreSQL Active Connection

postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE datname = '[database_name]';

Terminate All Active Connections in Database

postgres=# SELECT pg_terminate_backend (pid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE pg_stat_activity.datname = '<database_name>';

Check If The Server is Postgres Master or Slave

postgres=# SELECT pg_is_in_recovery();

If it's true, we're on a slave; if false, we're in master.
