with all due respect to Josh who has replied to this question already.

i have been thinking about this and would like to make sure i am on
the right track.

yes, there is no way to give priorities to queries or users in the db.
however, please correct me if i'm wrong, if i want something to run
with lower priority, i can use different connection parameters
which would use lower system resources. thus, this connection
would run "slower" that the other "normal" connections to the db.

would that be right?
