Hi, Is there a way to give priorities to queries or users? Something similar to NICE in Linux. My goal is to give the updating (backend) application a very low priority and give the web application a high priority to avoid disturbing the user experience. Thanks in advance!
with all due respect to Josh who has replied to this question already. i have been thinking about this and would like to make sure i am on the right track. yes, there is no way to give priorities to queries or users in the db. however, please correct me if i'm wrong, if i want something to run with lower priority, i can use different connection parameters which would use lower system resources. thus, this connection would run "slower" that the other "normal" connections to the db. would that be right?
