Hi,
Here is my function. If I comment out the update then it would run all the cores, if not then only one core will run....
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_update_device(this_mac text, number_of_devices integer, this_sysuptime integer)
RETURNS integer AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
fake_mac macaddr;
this_id integer;
new_avgld integer;
BEGIN
new_avgld = (this_sysuptime / 120) % 100;
for i in 1..Number_of_devices loop
fake_mac = substring(this_mac from 1 for 11) || ':' || upper(to_hex((i-1)/256)) || ':' || upper(to_hex((i-1)%256));
select into this_id id from ap where lan_mac = upper(fake_mac::text);

If you're going to post that, please strip the comments or post the
results of this query:

I don't think anything in your configuration will affect this
particular problem, but it seems likely that you could do some
overall tuning. If you want to do that, you should probably start a
new thread after this issue is sorted out.
