/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * worker_spi.c
 *		Sample background worker code that demonstrates various coding
 *		patterns: establishing a database connection; starting and committing
 *		transactions; using GUC variables, and heeding SIGHUP to reread
 *		the configuration file; reporting to pg_stat_activity; using the
 *		process latch to sleep and exit in case of postmaster death.
 *
 * This code connects to a database, creates a schema and table, and summarizes
 * the numbers contained therein.  To see it working, insert an initial value
 * with "total" type and some initial value; then insert some other rows with
 * "delta" type.  Delta rows will be deleted by this worker and their values
 * aggregated into the total.
