Thanks Stefan and Brian. 

When I went through monetdb man page, the usage of nthreads (set as gdk_nr_threads) environmental variable was defined as

>> Defines how many worker threads the server should use to perform main processing. Normally, this number equals the number of available CPU cores in the system. Reducing this number forces the server to use less parallelism when executing queries, or none at all if set to 1.

I am a bit confused in understanding this statement. The variable "nthreads" controls 
  1. the number of threads processing a single query using multiple cores. 
  2. the number of queries currently being executed over all databases by the mserver.
Please help me understand which of these two is correct..
This doubt arises because I have read from MonetDB home page that "MonetDB is designed for multi-core parallel execution on desktops to reduce response time for complex query processing".

If the variable "nthreads" controls the latter, then does monetdb have an in built queue to store the queries from remaining connections (controlled by the variable nclients) to the mserver?? I have read about multiplex funnel and a bit afraid over the transactional disadvantages mentioned in there.. 
Is there any other solution?
