I was looking at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/bgworker.htmlwith a client today.
It says: "Unlike RegisterBackgroundWorker, which can only be called from within the postmaster,RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker must be called from a regular backend." Is that the correct restriction? In particular, don't we allow calling RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker from another background worker? (In the launcher/worker kind of scenario, like AutoVacuum). Also: "Background workers are expected to be continuously running; if they exit cleanly, postgres will restart them immediately. " This doesn't apply to dynamic ones, which we might want to clarify. Do we have a "term" for non-dynamic background workers? "static workers"? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
