Hi, I find this very helpful:
Lowering the priority of a PostgreSQL query http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=11 Now I was wondering whether one could have a SELECT pg_setpriority(10); executed automatically each time a certain user connects (not necessarily using psql)? Any ideas if and how this might be possible?
