Thread: Keeping only one postgres.exe instance running

Hi,

Is there a way to tell PostgreSQL to keep only one instance of
postgres.exe running?

Thanks,

Pierre

Running it in single user non-server mode?

Is there some reason you're looking to do this?

you  couldn't use it if that was the case.   at a minimum, there is the
postmaster process, the postgres writer, the postgres logger, the
postgres stats collector, and the postgres wal writter.  oh, and
autovacuum..   then, each user connection to postgres launches another
instance to service the queries of that connection.
