Oh, I don't disagree with you. As I already mentioned, they desperately need to be rewritten. However, given that that's not a sanely back-patchable answer, we have to consider what are the appropriate semantics for the existing infrastructure. (Also, if they *were* memory-based then the question of their relation to 2PC semantics becomes even more urgent.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
