Anna, feel free to work on this patch.
Ivan and I worked on this patch a bit more. We fixed the bugs that we
could find and cleaned up the code. For now, we've kept both options:
WAIT as a standalone statement and WAIT as a part of BEGIN. The new
patch is attached.
The syntax looks a bit different now:
- WAIT FOR [ANY | ALL] event [, ...]
- BEGIN [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ transaction_mode [, ...] ] [ WAIT FOR
[ANY | ALL] event [, ...]]
where event is one of:
LSN value
TIMEOUT number_of_milliseconds
timestamp
Now, one event cannot contain both an LSN and a TIMEOUT.
In my understanding the whole idea of having TIMEOUT was to do something
like 'Do wait for this LSN to be replicated, but no longer than TIMEOUT
milliseconds'. What is the point of having plain TIMEOUT? It seems to be
equivalent to pg_sleep, doesn't it?
