I was just referring to the client interfaces ECPG and libpq. AFAIK the back-end is not threaded (and I'm beginning to understand why not). So my app starts multiple threads of execution through the ECPG libs... the ECPG libs (and libpq) start multiple sockets to the back-end - one for each thread. No changes to the back-end. That's my understanding - Lee did most of the work, so maybe he can confirm that.

Yes, I grab this info from the CVS logs, and I certainly mentioned it in the commit. --- Philip Yarra wrote: > On Thu, 3 Jul 2003 12:14 am, you wrote: > > I usually do it, but it might take a week to put together. > > You might like to mention that (as far as I can tell) ECPG is now safe for > pthreads on Linux and FreeBSD.

This is happy joy. It's a killer feature *for me*. Down upon my knees, I kiss gently even the dirty boots of those that did the work. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

You might like to mention that (as far as I can tell) ECPG is now safe for pthreads on Linux and FreeBSD. The recursive mutex locks are removed, so even platforms that implement the earlier version of pthreads ought to work as well, once configure supports them (anyone care to actually test this assertion?) I don't know if other people think this is a "killer feature" but it means people porting from embedded SQL platforms where thread support has existed for some time (like Informix and Sybase) will have an easier time of it.

I usually do it, but it might take a week to put together.

Once you folks are done going through the remaining list of patches, can
we get someone to send a rough list of new features in 7.4 sent over to
-advocacy? Please feel free to highlight any items that you think
warrant special notice from a technical standpoint. Thanks in advance,
