Hello List,

I wonder if this compilation option is really taken into account as
PostgreSQL is not multi-threading but multi-processing.
I have read that without this option, the libpq won't know anything
about threads and may indeed have problems, but could you explain me how
this option runs ?

It is not clear for me the aim of this option in an multi-processing
environment...
Is it possible to force PostgreSQL to be multi-threaded ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Alexandra DANTE
