The problem with the approach I described on win32 is that fast fork()s are required for it to not significantly impact the running backends. That is, fork() has to return quickly when called. I don't know whether the implementation of fork() under win32 would be fast enough for this purpose. It might be -- I don't have any experience with fork() on win32 platforms so I can't say. -- Kevin Brown kevin@sysexperts.com
