I see. I find the following a little easier to follow, and the sleeps still work even when very short. Best, David. CREATE TABLE input AS SELECT x, row_number() OVER (ORDER BY x) n FROM generate_series(0,.000005,0.000001) x ORDER BY x DESC; CREATE TABLE output(place int,value float); CREATE TABLE handles AS SELECT pg_background_launch( format($$ SELECT pg_sleep(%s); INSERT INTO output VALUES (%s, %s) $$, x, n, x ) ) h FROM input; --wait until everyone finishes SELECT * FROM handles JOIN LATERAL pg_background_result(handles.h) AS (x TEXT) ON (true); --output results SELECT * FROM output ORDER BY place; -- David Fetter <david(at)fetter(dot)org> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: david(dot)fetter(at)gmail(dot)com Remember to vote!
