PostgreSQL forks a new backend process when a connection is established, however. It sounds like that's what you want. Do "SELECT pg_backend_pid()" to get the PID of the backend process serving your connection. That and other stat functions are documented here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/monitoring-stats.html -- Alex Brasetvik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
