Given your description of pg_background it looks an awful lot like infrastructure to make Autonomous Transactions work, but it doesn't even do that. I guess it could do in a very small additional patch, so maybe it is useful for something.
What do you see as being missing for autonomous transactios? BTW, what I think would make this feature VERY useful is if it provided the ability to fire something up in another backend and leave it running in the background. I think you can do that with FDW, but then you have the authentication PITA to deal with (and perhaps pg_background is a more efficient way to move data between backends than FDW, but that's just a guess...) -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting Data in Trouble?
