Here is an implementation of that.  I've included the calling code as a
patch to pgbench, because if I make it a separate -f file then it is a pain
to get the correct scale and settings of naccounts, etc., into it.

The create script could be integrated into pgbench -i if this is something
we might want to commit.

This gives me an almost 3 fold increase in performance on a system with
fsync turned off:


pgbench -b tpcb-func  -T30 -c8 -j8
tps = 24193.197877 (excluding connections establishing)

pgbench -b tpcb-like  -T30 -c8 -j8
tps = 8434.746300 (excluding connections establishing)


Cheers,

Jeff
create or replace function pgbench_transaction(arg_aid int, arg_bid int, 
arg_tid int, arg_delta int) returns int as $$
DECLARE
  abal int;
BEGIN
UPDATE pgbench_accounts SET abalance = abalance + arg_delta WHERE aid = arg_aid;
SELECT abalance into abal FROM pgbench_accounts WHERE aid = arg_aid;
UPDATE pgbench_tellers SET tbalance = tbalance + arg_delta WHERE tid = arg_tid;
UPDATE pgbench_branches SET bbalance = bbalance + arg_delta WHERE bid = arg_bid;
INSERT INTO pgbench_history (tid, bid, aid, delta, mtime) VALUES (arg_tid, 
arg_bid, arg_aid, arg_delta, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
RETURN abal;
END;
