Sure, but that isn't what I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about people being lulled into a false sense of security about setting commit_delay to 0 locally. If they do that, their actual additional delay at commit time may well be only marginally less than the full commit_delay, and will only rarely actually be 0. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
