Parallel query does exactly that: the workers are allocated from the bgworkers array, and if you want more, it's on you to increase that limit (it doesn't even have the GUC for a maximum). As far as logical replication and parallel query are concerned, that's fine. We can improve this later, if it proves to be a problem. I think there are far more pressing matters to review. -- 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
