Debugger

I am with a problem. When I am using debugger, breakpoints that they

does not stop), because this happens?

There is a fork() happen between the main function and what you are
probably looking for break at. You need to attach to the session
process after it forks, not to the main postmaster process.

If you just want a single backend, and entering sql commands to the
"backend>" prompt is enough for you, you should consider using the
command line argument --single DATABASE for debugging.
