But a SQL session on the server takes its statements from a FIFO queue
and processes them serially, so there's no intra-session concurrency.
In fact multi-threaded SQL clients *must* make sure that they don't
send concurrent queries to the same connection. The best they can
do in terms of throughput is to queue up a new query while
the server is busy executing a previous one, but that's pipelining,
not parallelism.
