In 8.3, you implemented virtual transactionids days before we produced a Release Candidate, against my recommendation. At that time, I didn't start questioning your sanity. In fact we all applauded that because it was a great performance gain. The fact that you disagree with me does not make me insane. Inaction on this point, resulting in a year's delay, will be considered to be a gross waste by the majority of objective observers. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
