Right. Perhaps "identical" was too strong a word. I was referring to the aspect under consideration here -- making it "serializable" in line with other MVCC operations. If we're not talking about making conflicts with other transactions behave just the same as an unqualified DELETE from a user perspective, I'm not sure what the goal is, exactly. Obviously we would be keeping the guts of the implementation the same (swapping in a new, empty heap). -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
