Thread: Priorities for users or queries?
Hi, Is there a way to give priorities to queries or users? Something similar to NICE in Linux. My goal is to give the updating (backend) application a very low priority and give the web application a high priority to avoid disturbing the user experience. Thanks in advance! Benjamin

Just to clarify, there is no way to throttle specific queries or users in PostgreSQL?

Hi Edwin, Which connection parameters effect system resources?
