Patent attributes
Systems and methods are disclosed for connection multiplexing in a parallel processing environment. An example method includes requesting, responsive to a request to perform multiple database operations in a single transaction, a connection identifier for a physical connection to the database, providing the connection identifier to each of a plurality of workers, and performing the multiple database operations using the plurality of workers. Each worker may obtain a work item from a work queue, initiate a database request for the work item, and provide the database request to a database server. The database request represents one of the multiple database operations and includes the connection identifier. The database server may determine that the connection identifier corresponds to the physical connection, add the request to a connection queue associated with the physical connection, and execute requests from the connection queue against the database via the physical connection.
