Hello all, it's very interesting to see the discussion of "threads" again.
I've portet PostgreSQL to a "thread-per-connection" model based on pthreads and it is functional. Most of the work was finding all the static globals in the sourcefiles and swapping them between threads and freeing memory if a thread terminates. (PostgreSQL isn't written very clean in the aspects of memory handling). My version of the thread-based PostgreSQL is not very efficient at the moment because I haven't done any optimisation of the code to better support threads and I'm using just a simple semaphore to control switching of data but this could be a starting point for others who want to see this code. If this direction will be taken seriously I'm very willing to help. If someone is interested in the code I can send a zip file to everyone who wants.
