<div dir="ltr">Hi Tatsuo,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for the update, I will check and try to do it from my end if possible.</div><div><br></div><div>I had one last query before closing this, I want to understand when it is advisable to enable serialize_accept. In my case, we are expecting around 1k concurrent connections to the database nad I have gone through document "<a href="https://www.pgpool.net/docs/latest/en/html/runtime-config-connection-pooling.html">https://www.pgpool.net/docs/latest/en/html/runtime-config-connection-pooling.html</a>" to run pgbench and check the value for <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:medium">"including connections establishing". </span>I ran the test but i have no idea what value to look for ,below is my test result. I have enabled serialize_accept because when these many connections come to database my pgpool server has a stable load average. When serialize_accept is disabled, load average on pgpool server goes beyond 1000 which is not acceptable for production workload</div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><br></span></div><div>[enterprisedb@drplpocppr1 ~]$ pgbench -n -S -h 192.168.16.184 -p 9100 -c 1000 -C -S -T 300 db1<br>Password:<br>transaction type: multiple scripts<br>scaling factor: 10<br>query mode: simple<br>number of clients: 1000<br>number of threads: 1<br>duration: 300 s<br>number of transactions actually processed: 9223<br>latency average = 32534.298 ms<br>tps = 30.736794 (including connections establishing)<br>tps = 30.767516 (excluding connections establishing)<br>SQL script 1: <builtin: select only><br> - weight: 1 (targets 50.0% of total)<br> - 4598 transactions (49.9% of total, tps = 15.323406)<br> - latency average = 30540.832 ms<br> - latency stddev = 6324.742 ms<br>SQL script 2: <builtin: select only><br> - weight: 1 (targets 50.0% of total)<br> - 4625 transactions (50.1% of total, tps = 15.413387)<br> - latency average = 30745.421 ms<br> - latency stddev = 5910.625 ms<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><br></span></div><div><br></div><div>1.

You need to re-create rpm packages. If you are not sure how to do it,<br>
probably you'd better to wait for next rpm releases. (to find release<br>
schedule please visit: <a href="https://pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Roadmap" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Roadmap</a>)<br>
