Give it a read. Back? It means, so far as I can see, that PG is toast. It will fall down to being the cheap and dirty alternative to MySql, which even has, at least two, multi-threaded engines. DB2 switched it's *nix engine to threads from processes with release 9.5. Oracle claims it for releases going back to 7 (I haven't tried to determine which parts or applications; Larry has bought so many tchochtkes over the years...). SQL Server is threaded. Given that cpu's are breeding threads faster than cores, PG will fall into irrelevance. ====================================================================== Source: http://drcoddwasright.blogspot.com/2012/01/dont-thread-on-me.html Comments? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
