> I'm surprised at how you've assessed the risk here. What's bothering me is (a) it's less than 24 hours to release wrap and (b) this patch changes SSI-relevant behavior and hasn't been approved by Kevin. I'm not familiar enough with that logic to commit a change in it on my own authority, especially with so little time for problems to be uncovered. I'm okay with adding an explicit buffer lock/unlock pair, and in fact plan to go have a look at that in a bit. I'm not okay with doing a refactoring that might change the behavior in more ways than that under these circumstances. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
