RE: [INTERFACES] Re: [HACKERS] Revised proposal for libpq and FE/BE protocol changes

I have had a report from someone using Servlets, that they are opening
something like 5 to 10 connections from a single Java Servlet, which then
brokers them to clients.

In the current system architecture, much the easiest way to execute
concurrent queries is to open up more than one connection. There's
nothing that says a frontend process can't fire up multiple backend
processes. I think this is probably sufficient, because I don't
foresee such a thing becoming really popular anyway.
