results. Let's assume you are running them from a programming environment
with an ORM layer. In that case you can run each query in a separate thread
and connection pipe, and the queries will run async just fine. If you are
running at the command line using psql, you can just open multiple shells
and run each query from a different shell terminal.

Postgres is very good at async queries, so your challenge is really
figuring out how you will use the results of each query and setting up the
environment sending the queries to perform asynchronously.
