   <para>Once running, the process can connect to a database by calling

    This allows the process to run transactions and queries using the
    <literal>SPI</literal> interface.  If <varname>dbname</varname> is NULL or
    <varname>dboid</varname> is <literal>InvalidOid</literal>, the session is not connected
    to any particular database, but shared catalogs can be accessed.
    If <varname>username</varname> is NULL or <varname>useroid</varname> is
    <literal>InvalidOid</literal>, the process will run as the superuser created
-   during <command>initdb</command>.

    A background worker can only call one of these two functions, and only
    once.  It is not possible to switch databases.
