Hi all, The bgworker documentation does not explicitely mention that a bgworker using BGWORKER_BACKEND_DATABASE_CONNECTION needs to have BGWORKER_SHMEM_ACCESS set as well.
Just to mention, a bgworker using only db connection flag and not shmem flag will fail at atart-up with this error. background worker "hello signal worker": must attach to shared memory in order to request a database connection Please find attached a patch that improves documentation a bit by mentioning this restriction. This should normally be backpatched to 9.3 stable. Thanks, -- Michael
