I'm looking at shortlisting things that I'll be working on for 8.4. I've thrown out a few small patches I had, but now am looking at these projects:
* Hot Standby * Logical replication via transaction log * Integration with synchronous replication * Join removal * stats hooks * DDL locking reductions Initial design work on them is mostly done, just need to start posting designs and patches. I've got a early days prototype of Hot Standby that allows connection, plus months of thinking on the other topics, so I'm further ahead than it may previously have appeared. All of this is dependent upon sponsorship... THANK YOU to current sponsors. I've had to break off work on MERGE now. For lack of time, plus the presence of some unresolved details in the design that make it questionable whether it would be fully accepted. I've also punted on a few other items that look like more time than value to the project, in my opinion. But it might be possible to pick up later, depending what happens in next few months. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
