Description:
Hi Team,
The glossary is a really nice summary of what each term means. The
background worker gives a nice summary as to what it does
"Background worker (process)
Process within an instance, which runs system- or user-supplied code. Serves
as infrastructure for several features in PostgreSQL, such as logical
replication and parallel queries. In addition, Extensions can add custom
background worker processes."
Then it links to Chapter 48 For more information, see Chapter 48. to learn
more but I can't find any more information about logical replication and
parallel queries in relation with background workers aside from user
extensions. Would like to learn more about that thanks.
thanks and keep up the good work
