I can add, that nowadays it seems that the paralleling processing is the only way to scale. They can't wait that CPU Clock Speeds Increased in in the coming years. I understand that use of thread has some difficulties. I can not understand why use of thread can have disadvantages. Actually I think that parallelling using threads is much easy than parallelling using processes. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
