Yeah, it's not a nonstandard way. But bgworker provides a lot of inbuilt infrastructure which otherwise we would have to maintain by ourselves if we opt for option 2. I would have preferred option 3 from the simplicity point of view but I would prefer to make this PGC_SIGHUP over simplicity. But anyway, if there are issues in doing so then we can keep it PGC_POSTMASTER but it's worth trying this out. -- Regards, Dilip Kumar EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
