Hi all,
I am working on an application that involves multiple processes accessing and updating different databases: tables are split into 3 different databases that are accessed by 3 different processes. This architectural decision was made in the past because it has been noticed that former revisions of postgres used to lock the whole database when a process performs an update (on a record) which prevents the other processes from accessing the database.
After some readings on postgres concurrent client management, I am planning on changing the database structure to make all application processes access a shared database (i.e. put all application tables in a single database that would be shared among the 3 processes). I did not find in the documentation (at least in the current versions of postgres starting from revision 7) any specific problem related to doing this, comments on this problem will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hanan
