There is the concept of dynamic background workers in Postgres. That's what for example parallel query uses. At planning a number of workers thought as suited is selected, and then spawned dynamically at execution, at the limit defined by max_worker_processes though. Have a look at worker_spi in the code tree, which is a module that does present a way to spawn workers dynamically. This infrastructure could allow for example anybody to re-create what autovacuum does with a launcher process and workers created depending on what needs to be cleaned up per database as a plugin. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
