Well, that gets back to the question of whether average users will understand the "degree" terminology. For the record, while I do not like the current behavior either, this was not the solution I favored. I thought we should rename the GUC and keep it as meaning the number of additional worker processes. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
