Hello, I have a question regarding the way PG runs on Windows machines. I have PG 9.0 installed on Windows 2008 Server Standard. When it runs without any traffic I have 6 postgres.exe processes running. When I run software which connects to the DB on local host I have 7 (so +1 that I can understand) but when remote hosts connect i goes up to 40 postgres.exe running on server. My question is why there are so many postgres.exe running when nothing is connecteg to the server and each remote connection triggers next 2 - 3 instances? All connected hosts are working actively on the db performing sever SELECTS as well as INSERT / UPDATE statements per transaction. -- Łukasz Brodziak -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
