The Postgres backend is single-threaded software. The client stuff is
probably thread-safe, and both frontend and backend work with thread-safe
libraries. Clients can open multiple connections to backends, so I would
think that you could do so from multiple threads. You might need to take a
mutex on the connection-opening step; not sure about that. Also, there is
a separate process per backend connection, so multiple simultaneous
connections are allowed.
Good luck.
