I think the subject of this the thread, for which I'm probably to blame, is bad terminology. The processes we're talking about exposing in pg_stat_activity here are really backends, too, I think. They're just ... special backends. So I would tend to avoid any backend -> process type of renaming. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
