What about some C dynamically loaded function in which I could call new connection for each thread?
Past discussion here suggests that the backends are strictly single
threaded. While you might be able to use multiple threads - I don't know
- I expect you'd need to protect all SPI access by a lock that
serialized everything anyway.
Doing it externally with a script / program that uses multiple
connections might just be the way. Unfortunately that means that you
don't get a single consistent snapshot - each connection will have its
own, potentially different, view of the database state.
A possible use for read only transactions being able to share a snapshot
came up in discussion a few weeks ago. I guess this is another one.
