There is also a middle ground, because having the the scheduling process sounds
like a lot more work than what Josh was proposing.
CREATE TEMP SEQUENCE s;
SELECT relname, s mod <number of backends> AS backend_number
FROM ( SELECT relname
FROM pg_class
ORDER BY relpages
);
Of course, having an actual scheduling process is most likely the most
efficient.
