Is there a way to kill a session in PostrgeSQL? I ran a bad query by
mistake and I don't want to shut the whole database just to quit using
the whole CPU.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

ISTM what you really want is query cancel, not whole-session kill.
Try "kill -INT <pid-of-backend>".

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
