Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading. I'm completely new to PostgreSQL and need to drop some databases I've created, however, I cannot. I'm using Navicat and pgAdmin3 to try and both times I cannot. Each time I click the database it seems to establish a connection but I have to click it to get the delete right-click option. I cannot figure out for the life of me nor on Google how to delete them. How can I do this?<br />
<br />
Thank you!

ERROR: database &quot;name&quot; is being accessed by other users DETAIL: There are 1 other session(s) using the database.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with an emphasis on extensibility and standards-compliance. As a database server, its primary function is to store data securely, supporting best practices, and to allow for retrieval at the request of other software applications. PostgreSQL implements the majority of the SQL2011 standard, is ACID-compliant and transactional using multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), and handles complex SQL queries using many indexing methods that are not available in other databases. It is cross-platform and runs on many operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows.

PostgreSQL

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
