Dear All<br><br>
Looking at the processes running on our server, it appears that each time
a web server program makes a call to the database server, we start a new
process on the database server which obviously has a start up cost. In
Apache, for example, you can say at start up time,that you want the
machine to reserve eg 8 processes and keep them open at all times so you
don't have this overhead until you exceed this minimum number. Is there a
way that we can achieve this in Postgres? We have a situation whereby we
have lots of web based users doing short quick queries and obviously the
start up time for a process must add to their perceived response
time.<br><br>
Thanks<br>
