Here you are my probably uncommon situation.
I have installed 4 different instances of postgresql-9.0.2 on the same
machine, on ports 5433, 5434, 5435, 5436.
On these instances I have splitted a huge database, dividing it per date
(from 1995 to 1998 on 5433, from 1999 to 2002 on 5434 and so on...).
Then I have developed a C function using libpq which creates 4 threads,
each one which query a 1/4 of the db. After that I merge the results in
one single response.
My function works fine, but I need to include it inside a postgresql
instance in order to launch it as a normal SQL query (SELECT myfunc(...);).
Why I have to do something tricky like this is long too explain...
I have read the documentation here
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/xfunc-sql.html#XFUNC-SQL-FUNCTIONS-RETURNING-SET,
but I'm pretty confuse and I don't know if this is the right way to
accomplish my goal.
Have you got any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
