It's just the changes in xact.c, so it doesn't seem like it would cause you any more work either way, in which case, I'll leave it to you :-) FYI, the OID I chose was simply the closest single value to those used for the other related functions (e.g. pg_stat_get_numscans). Seemed like a good way to use up one more random unused value, but I don't care if it gets changed to the 8000+ range. -- Dave Page Blog: https://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
