I'm not saying it doesn't happen at all. I'm saying it's not the 80% case. So let's fix the 80% case with something we feel confident in, and then revisit the no-sysv interlock as a separate patch. That way if we can't fix the interlock issues, we still have a reduced-shmem version of Postgres. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
