+1 for pg_xlog -> pg_wal. Of the existing suggestions, would like to add my vote for the following renames, matching pg_multixact: pg_clog -> pg_xact pg_subtrans -> pg_subxact If longer names are on the table, I would consider expanding all three of those: pg_clog -> pg_transaction pg_subtrans -> pg_subtransaction pg_multixact -> pg_multitransaction They sound eminently non-deletable. -- Thomas Munro http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
