Because the transaction's writes aren't visible until COMMIT PREPARED is run, and write-write conflicts are still causing serialization failures after PREPARE TRANSACTION, some of the work being done for SSI on PREPARE TRANSACTION needs to be moved to COMMIT PREPARED. It seems likely that shops who use prepared transactions are more likely than most to care about truly serializable transactions, so I don't think I should write this off as a limitation for the 9.1 implementation. Unless someone sees some dire problem with the patch which I've missed, this seems like my top priority to fix before cutting a patch. -Kevin
