title: Postgres cursor multiple app server readers
body: <p>I'm trying to spread the load of processing millions of records onto multiple application servers. The records are created by means of a complex join. That is the data cannot simply be retrieved from one table. Our idea is to use a cursor, and it's working with one application server that does the complex calculations. Now we want to add one or more servers to speed up processing. Any idea how to do that? How to share the cursor among multiple readers deployed on separate (application) servers? Our app logic is python based and we are using psycopg2.</p>
  
  <p>thanks a lot for your help</p>
