Hello - I am new to this forum and know nothing about PostgreSQL. I have managed Microsoft SQL for 15 years (I know ....) We have a third party application that uses PostgreSQL for the database engine. Performance writing to our Dell Compellent SAN is lacking. What I've read about PostgreSQL is that it's a single-thread disk I/O system where only one read/write operation executes at a time. Can you tell me if this is correct? Thanks!!
