Don't open until needed, close when done. Assuming they're actually a problem--for smaller scale environments, it can
beperfectly OK to have clients holding connections open for the entire client lifetime. 

Set application name on connection, so that *if* there is a problem it's easier to track down.

Which could easily be a matter of some pg library being used. As far as I see, there was also never an answer to
whetherthis is actually a problem and if so, how? 

And one more: if there is a problem, why not use pgbouncer?

We've given all the information we can about how to identify such connections. Any further help would depend on more
infofrom Rajesh.
