Ah, we can separate the proposal to two topics: A. Support to run non-vacuum jobs from autovacuum launcher B. Support "user defined background processes" A was proposed in the original "1 of 6" patch, but B might be more general. If we have a separated coordinator, B will be required. Markus, do you need B? Or A + standard backend processes are enough? If you need B eventually, starting with B might be better. -- Itagaki Takahiro -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
