Re: How to run multi-processor question

Because of the multi-process design of postgresql it will automatically
take advantage of two (or more) processors if your kernel supports it.
As far as submitting to a specific process, the postmaster forks a
process for each connection, so each connection is getting a "fresh"
process and again it is up to your kernel to handle scheduling and
coordination.
