Sure they have. In theory you cannot see a NOTIFY before the sending transaction commits, because the sender is holding a lock on pg_notify and you can't even find out that you've been notified until he releases it. Your idea that the COMMIT WAL record is getting dropped would fit the facts, but I really am having a hard time believing it. Why would the COMMIT record be more prone to loss than any other record? All the cases I have seen so far have the right number of non-COMMIT records in the log, so the bogus transaction is not getting lost altogether. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
