I don't seem to be able to find discussion on this point on -hackers. One of the main reasons for the implementation was to allow larger queries to work faster by utilising multiple temp tablespaces for the same query. The original ideal implementation was to use round-robin/cyclic selection, which allows much better usage in the above case. Random selection works only with larger numbers of users. Did I miss the discussion, or was this detail not discussed? The original TODO description mentioned this idea. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
