I think a test module for a table AM will really help developers. Just to add to the above list - how about the table AM implementing a simple in-memory (columnar if possible) database storing tables in-memory and subsequently providing readers with the access to the tables? -- Bharath Rupireddy PostgreSQL Contributors Team RDS Open Source Databases Amazon Web Services: https://aws.amazon.com
