I woke up with the nagging thought that while the above is completely accurate, it deserves some slight elaboration. These proofs show that there is no legitimate cycle which could cause an anomaly which the move from row-based to tuple-based logic will miss. They don't prove that the change will generate all the same serialization failures; and in fact, some false positives are eliminated by the change. That's a good thing. In addition to the benefits mentioned in prior posts, there will be a reduction in the rate of rollbacks (in particular corner cases) from what people see in beta1 without a loss of correctness. -Kevin
