If we actually *had* that, I'd agree with you. The problem is that it appears that we have such a behavior, but it fails to work that way in corner cases. My proposal is aimed at making the corner cases less corner-y, by adopting a uniform rule that each backend adopts all the changes it can. 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
