As I remember, the only per-backend value to be passed is the cancel key, and seeing that this is going to be a problem for postmaster too, I think we need to move in the direction of a separate fork/exec-only shared memory segment that holds the pids and cancel keys for all the backends. I will update the Win32 TODO list to mention this issue in more detail. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
