There's a reason why we don't offer a threaded server ... The postmaster process in particular runs in a rather unusual arrangement, where most of the interesting stuff does happen in signal handlers. I doubt there's any chance that we would make it run in a threaded environment. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
