A PostgreSQL client can -connect to pgpool as if it were a standard PostgreSQL server. +pgpool-II allows multiple PostgreSQL servers (DB nodes) to be +connected, which enables queries to be executed simultaneously on all +servers. -pgpool caches the connection to PostgreSQL server to reduce the overhead to -establish the connection to it. +It enables "parallel query" processing.
