I think it's safe to say that if we ever manage to get autonomous transactions working, there are a GREAT MANY things which will benefit from that. There's probably an easier way to get at that Todo item, though, if someone feels like beating on it. One problem with autonomous transactions is that you have to figure out where to store all the state associated with the autonomous transaction and its subtransactions. Another is that you have to avoid an unacceptable slowdown in the tuple-visibility checks in the process. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
