We have that in pg_restore, and I thinnk we are getting parallel dump in 9.3, right? Unfortunately, I don't see it in the last 9.3 commit-fest. Is it still being worked on?
Not exactly, I meant something like being able to use parallel processing when doing INSERT or COPY directly in core. If there is a parallel processing infrastructure, it could also be used for such write operations. I agree that the cases mentioned by Josh are far more appealing though... --
