I work for YugaByte, Inc (www.yugabyte.com <http://www.yugabyte.com/>). YugabyteDB re-uses the source code that implements the “upper half” of PostgreSQL Version 11.2. See here:
https://blog.yugabyte.com/distributed-postgresql-on-a-google-spanner-architecture-query-layer/ This means that the problem that the PostgreSQL issue I describe tracks affects users of YugabyteDB too. I wrote up the problem here: https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/issues/2464 <https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/issues/2464> Please read my account and comment. Peter Eisentraut, I hope that you’ll read this. I’m told that you're the authority for txn control in PL/pgSQL.
