Or better: After determining the checkpoint redo location, insert a WAL record representing the entire 2PC state as of that moment. That way it can easily restored during WAL replay and nothing special has to be done on a standby. This way we'll need no extra wal flushes and fsyncs. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
