In [1], I proposed that we solve the problem of supporting PREPARED transactions involving foreign servers and in subsequent mail Vinayak agreed to that. But this goal has wider scope than that proposal. I am fine widening the scope, but then it would again lead to the same discussion we had about the big picture. May be you want to share design (or point out the parts of this design that will help) for solving smaller problem and tone down the patch for the same. -- Best Wishes, Ashutosh Bapat EnterpriseDB Corporation The Postgres Database Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
