[HACKERS] Microseconds granularity SIGALRM interrupt support

2006-10-20 Thread NikhilS
Hi, Currently we have enable_sig_alarm() which provides millisecond level granularity in specifying delay. I tried using it by just specifying nonzero value for the timeval.it_value.tv_usec field before calling setitimer, but didn't seem to work well. Do we have any function in the postgres
