pg-background 1.9.1-1

Package Information

DescriptionBackground SQL extension for PostgreSQL

pg_background is a PostgreSQL extension to execute arbitrary SQL commands in background worker processes within PostgreSQL. It allows workloads requiring asynchronous execution, autonomous transactions, and long-running operations without blocking client sessions.

Unlike dblink (which creates a separate connection) or client-side async patterns, pg_background workers run inside the database server with full access to local resources while operating in independent transactions.
