I am not so familiar with PostgreSQL, it uses a one process per connection architecture, let me say one agent process
perclient , what I am wondering is how multiple agent process share page caches. In many other databases, client agents
usesthe multiple thread method, so they can share memory buffers within the same process, are there share-memory
mechanismsbetween PostgreSQL agent processes?
