Committed 0001. To be honest, I don't really like either pg_transaction or pg_xact. Neither name captures the fact that what we're really tracking here is the transaction *status*. pg_xact is slightly worse because it's a poor abbreviation for transaction, but I think the argument against even pg_transaction is similar to the one Tom previously levied against pg_logical - viz. "logical what?". The transaction themselves are not stored in the directory, just the commit status. The fact that commit status is saved is the source of the "c" in "clog". -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
