Thread: Parallel query and number of connections.

Parallel query and number of connections.

From

Hi there, we are running postgresql 10.5 on a centos 7 server.

We're seeing multiple connections (in pg_stat_activity) from our application with the same query , same user, same application_name, same query_start etc.  

We are 100% sure the query is duplicated and not referring to multiple queries issued.

The only difference is obviosly the pid and client_addr, that is populated in any of the connections but the first one.

I was wondering if this can be related to the parallel queries of postgresql. Is it supposed to spawn multiple "connections" ? 

Thank you in advance,

Alessandro.

client_addr being different would seem to indicate that this is 
something other then parallel query.
