Carol, depending on version and options turned on in the
postgresql.conf, you probably can have a look in the pg_stat_activity
system view:
SELECT datname, client_addr FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE datname = '<db
you're trying to drop>';
Otherwise, you can also have a look at the command line on linux servers
like this:
ps -ef|grep postgres
or
ps aux | grep postgres
depending what ps variant your system includes.
