Thanks, I just try this. This work if I working with database in loop inside bgw_main function. But if I create threads inside bgw_main and try to connect to database - I have errors "stack depth limit exceeded" . The code:

https://github.com/le0pard/pg_web/blob/master/src/pg_web.c#L195  - connect to database
https://github.com/le0pard/pg_web/blob/master/src/pg_web.c#L100-L131  - "http_event_handler" function execute in threads, because it handle http requests. And this code not work. BTW, I need connect to database depend from request url, so execute BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnection at the beginning not enough.

Thanks again.
