I am referring to the X/Open specification Distributed Transaction Processing: The XA Specification (pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009680699/toc.pdf). If postgresql provides a conforming Resource Manager switch then we can include postgresql work along with interactions with other Resource Managers (Oracle, DB2) in the same transaction. For example the equivalent support in Oracle that I am asking for is documented at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96590/adga1_xa.htm
When I wrote the patch for the backend support, I was not able to find any open source implementations of X/Open XA-compatible resource managers or transaction managers, which makes it kind of hard to implement the API correctly. There was plenty of JDBC XA implementations, however, so I used that for testing.
If you can find something to test it with, it probably wouldn't be that hard to write the library.
