Sort-of. PostgreSQL runs many processes, one per query. Each process has
a single thread. This means that one query can use at most one CPU core,
but many queries running concurrently can use many cpu cores.

For future posts, please choose a more informative subject line. Many
people will ignore posts entitled "help," "question," etc.
