So I think you're going about this backwards. Instead of discussing implementation I think you should start with the API the replication system needs. In particular I'm not sure you really want a server-side query at all. I'm wondering if you wouldn't be better off with a public machine-parsable text format version of the WAL. Ie, at the same time as writing out all the nitty gritty to the binary wal we would write out a summary of public data to an xml version containing just parts of the data stream that we can promise won't change, such as transaction id, lsn, timestamp. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
