Description: Background 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.
