Postgres 8.1
Linux Redhat AS 4.X
4 processor box
We have 12+ schemas in 1 database. When I do a unix “top” command I notice one postmaster process has 100% CPU usage. This process just stays at 100% to 99% CPU usage. There are other postmaster processes that pop up. They use hardly no CPU or memory. They also disappear very fast. I am wondering, is postgres only using one processor for database queries? Is there something I need to do to tell postgres to use more than one processor? Or does postgres only use up to one processor for any particular database?
Thanks for your help,
